All of Eastern's academic programs are approved by Veterans Affairs for veterans benefits. New students who are enrolling for the first time should contact the Veterans Affairs Office for forms and help in the application process approximately 6-8 weeks prior to their first term.

Students who receive veterans benefits must be aware of the following minimum standards of progress and policies of the institution as approved by the Veterans Administration:

1. The minimum cumulative GPA for the awarding of any degree is 2.0.

2. A student may drop from a class with no notation made on their permanent record only up to the mid-point of the course. After the mid-point, a "W" is recorded if their work is satisfactory and an "F", if it is not.

3. A student who fails to maintain a cumulative 2.0 GPA will be placed in jeopardy. After two consecutive terms of probation, the Veterans Administration must be notified by the Veterans Affairs Office of the student's unsatisfactory progress.

4. A student who is academically suspended may apply for readmission by contacting the Registrar's Office.

5. Courses numbered 0-99 cannot be used for graduation requirements, but do count toward VA benefits and toward full-time status for financial aid purposes on prescribed programs.

6. The Veterans Administration will not pay for any class not required to obtain a degree.

7. The Veterans Administration will pay for repeated classes ONLY if the required course was previously failed, or when the grade received failed to meet the minimum requirements for graduation. Please notify the Veterans Office at the beginning of the term when the class is expected to be repeated.

8. A student who withdraws from a course(s) during a term must promptly notify the Veterans Affairs Office.
