All students receiving benefits must be recertified for each new semester enrollment. Please fill out the Moraine Park Veterans Checklist form and send to the Veterans Certifying Official in the Student Services Center.

Advanced Standing

Students receiving or planning to receive Financial Aid or Veterans benefits are required to have any prior education or training reviewed for advanced standing. These credits must be reviewed regardless if the fees for these courses were paid by the student or were funded by Financial Aid, Veterans or any other funding agency. A veteran may be certified only for courses and electives required for their specific program.
