Spring 2026 Semester Reminder:
The Spring semester begins on Monday, January 26, 2026. If you are using GI Bill® Benefits (Chapter 31, 33, 35, or 1606) or you are a new incoming student wishing to use your GI Bill® Benefits please submit a request after you have registered for Spring classes. Scroll down to the tile that states, "Request Certification" to submit your request. Don't forget to email the SCO once you have submitted your request. Be aware your first deposit on February 1, 2026, may be delayed if you are now requesting certification.
If you are currently using the Cal Vet Fee Waiver (CVFW), the waiver will be automatically applied to Spring 2026 as long as you are registered for Spring classes. The Student Business Service will apply the waiver before the Tuition and Fee deadline which is January 20, 2026. If you are a new incoming student using the CVFW, the School Certifying Official (SCO) will need a new 16-digit code, if you used your waiver this past Fall semester at another school; otherwise, please email the SCO your CVFW.
If you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to our Military-Connected Veteran’s Advisor/VA School Certifying Official
