Military Veterans’ Assistance

All students utilizing VA benefits must submit a current certificate of eligibility for VA programs and all prior transcripts/training records to be evaluated, whether or not advanced standing is awarded. No penalties or late fees will be assessed for VA students awaiting payment from the VA for students that have turned in a Certificate of Eligibility for VA Educational Benefits. Moore Norman Technology Center is compliant with PL 115-407, in regards to the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018.

If a student is called up to active duty during the semester, they may request an exempted leave of absence. If the active duty extends past MNTC exemption of absence period (refer to pg. 12 of the Student Handbook) the student will be withdrawn from the program. Financial Aid, and/or VA funds may need to be returned to their respective federal departments. The student, to include service members and reservists, may apply for re-admission and request advanced standing if applicable (will be determined by the instructor) when they return. Students will only be charged for work needed to complete the remaining portion of the program. VA beneficiaries could be in debt to the VA if they withdraw or are terminated early.
