Each semester after registration, students eligible for benefits must complete the certification request form. This is a form specific to ºìÐÓ¶ÌÊÓƵ State and not a VA form. A student will be certified during a semester only after completing the CRF and turning in any required documentation. Generally, it takes the Office of Veteran & Military Student Success a week to submit a certification to the Department of Veteran Affairs.
