Veterans Benefits

Cal State San Bernardino has been approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education, a State of California Department of Consumer Affairs agency, to train eligible veterans and their eligible dependents.

Undergraduate degree programs, certificate programs (through regular university only), graduate degree programs and teacher credential programs are approved programs for eligible veterans and their dependents. No other programs are approved by the BPPVE and veterans will not be awarded benefits for them. Therefore, only course work completed towards the specific degree, certificate program or credential program will be certified to the Veterans Administration. The veteran coordinator at this institution has been delegated the authority to process enrollment verifications and other certification documents to confirm and audit each veteran's enrollment activity to ensure that veteran benefits disbursements are in compliance with the Title 38 program.

The following Veteran Education Assistance Programs are handled by the Veteran Certification office:

• Chapter 30 (New G.I. Bill)
• Chapter 32 (VEAP)
• Chapter 1606 (Reserve G.I. Bill)
• Chapter 1607 (REAP)
• Chapter 35 (Dependents Education Assistance)
• Chapter 31 (Vocational Rehab G.I. Bill)
• College Fee Waiver Program for Veterans Dependents

This office does not handle tuition assistance. Please contact Yolanda Gamble in the Sponsored Billings office at CSUSB at (909) 537-5156 for help with this program.

For information about the different benefit programs, visit the Department of Veterans Affairs site or call (800) 827-1000. For more information specifically on GI Bill benefits, visit their Web site.

The veteran coordinator is housed within the office of Records, Registration and Evaluations in University Hall, Room 171. To initiate for the first time or to transfer your benefits, contact Melissa McQuead, our Veteran Coordinator.
