The Office of Veterans Affairs is designed to serve the needs of veterans on campus. It is the link between the Veterans Administration and the veteran. All students must register with the office to receive G.I. Benefits and to initiate any action concerning the Veterans Administration. The office, located in The Hub, is part of the Office of Admissions, Records and Registration.

How to Register with the Office of Veteran Affairs:

1. Complete an Application for Educational Benefits (form 22- 1990) for Chapter 30 and 1606; Complete an Application for Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (form 22.5490) for Chapter 35; or complete a Request for Change of Program or Place of Training (form 22-1995) if you have received benefits from another institution prior to enrolling at BCCC.
2. Attach a copy of your DD-214 (Chapter 30) and/or your Notice of Basic Eligibility (NOBE - Chapter 1606) to the application.
3. Submit forms to the Office of Veteran Affairs.

Each semester you would like to receive your benefits, you must notify the Office of Veteran Affairs. You can do this by: (a) Submitting a copy of your class schedule (Registration Form). (b) Submitting a Veteran Certification Form (Available at the front desk).

All certifications will be processed after the last day of drop and add for the semester. Due to security risks, the Office of Veteran Affairs will not process requests for advance payment. However, Tuition Deferments are available for all veterans receiving benefits, who have no outstanding financial obligation to the College. The deferment is effective until the end of the following semester, however, the College expects that regular payments be made when payments are received from the VA. All deferments must be requested using the proper deferment form and will be approved by the Veterans Coordinator. Deferment forms are available in the Office of Admissions
