Veterans’ Educational Benefits

American University’s degree programs are approved for educational benefits under the various federal laws relating to veterans. While every effort has been made to provide accurate and complete information, changes in federal regulations and university policy may occur at any time without notice. The following should be considered informational and not binding on the university.

Certification of Enrollment to the Veterans Administration

After registering for classes, new, continuing, or transfer students who intend to use their VA educational benefits must submit an online Request for Certification of Enrollment for VA Benefits form every semester and submit it to AU Central - Veteran Services.

Enrollment will be certified with the Department of Veterans Administration (VA) after AU Central - Veteran Services has received the request. To fill out the Certification Request form, go to www.american.edu/veterans, select applications and information, then select request for certification.

For further information on the administration of veterans’ educational benefits, inquiries may be emailed to veterans@american.edu or by visiting the Veterans Services team in AU Central, 201 Asbury Building.
