All students are responsible for tuition and fees at Charlotte.
However, if you are using the Post 9/11 Bill® (Chapter 33) or Vocational Rehabilitation (Chapter 31) benefit, VA benefits will be paid to the University directly. Any amounts that VA benefits do not cover, the student is responsible for paying. Please note, if you are an out-of-state student using Post 9/11 benefits (100% eligibility), VA will cover the tuition and fees at the in-state rate (leaving the difference to be paid by the student).
If you are looking to withdraw from a class please be aware of the semester deadlines to do so.
If you choose to withdraw from a class the process for notifying the Veteran Service Office is outlined below
- Please notify us through the Veterans Portal, Student Messaging. This is critical if any of the following apply:
- You are moving from either full-time to part-time status as a result of the change or
- the class(es) are not a part of your degree plan
Once the office receives this information we will process your adjustment at that time.
Afterwards the VA will send you a debt letter, which will inform you of how much you will have to repay. The Veteran Service Office cannot calculate those payments.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAYMENT TO TUITION, FEES, MHA AND THE BOOK STIPEND.
We recommend you either come into our office or call the office to discuss your options and for further clarification
Have you submitted your benefit enrollment form on our website? If not please proceed and complete that process and we will get you certified and processed in the order in which we received.
If you have submitted your form and are using Ch. 33 or 31 there will be a protective hold on your account. Please disregard the emails, the VA will pay the tuition.
If you are using other benefits you will need to make a payment arrangement in order to prevent your classes from being dropped (a payment plan is one option).
Undergraduate students will be terminated for VA purposes if their cumulative GPA is below a 2.0 for two consecutive terms. If a graduate student earns an Unsatisfactory grade, benefits will be terminated.
No. The monthly stipend is based on a student’s enrollment status, which can range from full-time to less than half-time, depending on the number of credits taken. Please review the enrollment status breakdown and pay rates.
Post 9/11 students receive the monthly stipend as long as their enrollment status is 51% (for undergraduates in the fall and spring terms, this means enrolled in at least 7 credit hours; 5 hours for graduate students). Students at full time will receive 100% of the monthly stipend and those in fewer credits will receive a prorated amount based upon their rate of pursuit rounded to the nearest multiple of 10.
The monthly stipend for a full-time student using the Post 9/11 benefit at 100% eligibility is currently $1,668 a month.
Note: Those on active duty or the spouses of those on active duty receiving Transfer of Entitlement are not eligible for the monthly stipend.
The VSO has 14 days from receipt of your enrollment form to process your form. You will recieve a confirmation email from this office once your enrollment form has been completed and submitted and another once the VSO certifies you (it will contain your Certification ID number). Additionally, you can see your certifications progress within the VSO via the Veterans Portal.
You will receive a final email (from VA-Once) that may be used as confirmation of receipt from the VA.

This will include any grants and scholarships you have received unless those grants and scholarships are designated for tuition and fees only.
In order to receive college credit for your military training you will need to submit a Joint Services Transcript (JST) to the Office of the Registrar for evaluation of any applicable transfer credits.
VA will only pay you to retake a class in the event that your major requires that you make a certain grade in the class. VA will not pay you to retake a class just because you want a better grade. Before retaking a class, check the catalog for the course requirements.
