I had to jump back in at Diff Eq's and Multi-variable and there is 0 chance I would have succeeded without the people at Everett (WA) CC being good at their jobs. Otherwise I would have came back to Penn State and had another junior math prof that didn't give a poo poo and who knows what would have happened. I went to Everett. Bolan & Washburn are fabulous.

Does anyone have experience applying for an extension of their GI Bill delimiting date? The recent VR&E change means I suddenly have some extra entitlement that I'm not going to be able to use up in time.

I've been done with voc rehab for a few years. I'm doing a master's now. They changed GI Bill so that your voc rehab time doesn't count against it anymore. So I suddenly have a bunch of GI Bill time that is about to hit the fifteen year limit.

That was my approach. After talking to the GI Bill hotline, I had to ask the school to put my program in for GI Bill approval, since they're lazy and only put programs in as they're needed. After that, they'll put in the past two semester's studies. We'll see if I get paid.

You can't "save" VR&E. Your Post 9/11 GI Bill time burns VR&E time. It's not true the other way around, now that they've changed the 48-month rule. The next bit is important: USE VR&E FIRST edit: I'm sorry to say that poster below me is wrong about GI Bill vs. VR&E time. Definitely right about doing VR&E first. Just read the entire thread.

Grip it and rip it posted:I don't imagine that change is retroactively applied, huh? It is. If you used VR&E and not GI Bill, you suddenly have a bunch of GI Bill eligibility you didn't have before.

My school has been failing to get my masters program approved for GI Bill since May. What a clownshow.

Mehsticles posted:Would there happen to be anyone here currently studying overseas through VA benefits? My partner is currently studying here in the UK, however has been told that due to the US gvt wanting access to some form of data of any US students at the school, and UK schools not wanting to play ball, all VA funding for overseas will be pulled as the UK considers it illegal to provide this (who'da thought it). As the funding is done yearly rather than it being approved as a 3 / x year course, they simply won't be able to afford the additional years of study here. This is a problem at a lot of non-US schools right now. I know one group collecting stories and lobbying for a legislative fix.

I called the GI Bill line the other day and they said 25 days to process a new GI Bill case right now, so I think you and I have another couple weeks to wait, McNally.

antimatt posted:So, uhh, any hints for someone who is retiring at the end of this year with nothing other than a mostly CLEP'd CCAF and may want to apply for a couple state universities? Being a 40ish freshman is kinda wild. I guess the first question is: what are your goals? Do you know what kind of degree you want? Are you shooting for a certain kind of job? Hooking up with the local veteran's office at the institutions you're interested in is probably a good start. Edit: Vocational Rehabilitation before GI Bill is a big one now, since it comes from a different pot of eligibility. GI Bill burns voc rehab time but not the other way around, so definitely do voc rehab first if you can.
