GI Bill Payment Info.

Chapter 30, 35, 1606 and 1607

Gardner-Webb University requires payment in full prior to the beginning of each semester; however, GI Bill students are eligible to make monthly payments of current semester charges by completing the Payment Agreement for GWU Tuition under the GI Bill and forwarding it to the Business Office.

Chapter 33

Students approved to attend GWU under Chapter 33 (Post 9/11) of the GI Bill are not required to pre-pay their tuition and fees, providing, they have been certified by the VA and the University Certification Officer in the Registrar's Office. Payment for Chapter 33 students will be made directly from the VA to the Business Office.

VA Certified students who will have housing, dining or other non-tuition or fee related expenses on their account, and wish to make monthly payments using their housing allowance, must complete the GI Bill Payment Agreement. (See terms and conditions below). Funds for these charges are paid directly to the student on a monthly basis.

The following terms and conditions apply to the GI Bill payment agreement:

     The student provides a copy of their documentation to the Business Office indicating their eligibility for benefits, or verification from the GWU University VA Certification Officer.
     The student makes monthly payments towards current semester charges coinciding with receipt of their benefit payments for the duration of that semester.
     Current semester charges must be paid in full no later than the last day of exams for that semester.

A student's upcoming semester schedule will subject to cancellation if all current and prior semester charges are not paid in full by this date.

If a student's GI Bill payments are delayed past the end of the current semester, the student will need to contact the VA Regional Processing Office. The VA office must provide documentation or official notification of the delay to the University Business Office or the University VA Certification Officer in the Registration and Records office.

     Students utilizing the GI Bill may be cleared to register for an upcoming semester only if they have made payments in accordance with the agreement and do not have outstanding balances for items other than the current semester.
     Penalty and Interest may apply to unpaid balances during the current semester. However, these charges will be credited if payment is made per the agreement and the principal balance is paid no later than the last day of exams for current semester. Outstanding amounts for prior semester charges are subject to Penalty and Interest in accordance with the requirements of General Statute 147-86.23.
     If the student becomes ineligible for benefits under Chapter 30 of the GI Bill payments must be made in accordance with standard university policy.
