Veteran Expenses

Disabled veterans who are eligible for admission to the University may register for courses without payment of fees if they are certified by the Veterans Administration. The student can be registered for classes as long as they can present evidence of their Certification of Eligibility at the time of registration.

Alabama State University will not charge VA students a late fee or deny access to classes, libraries, or other facilities because of delayed payment from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

All students utilizing VA benefits will receive in-state tuition. VA students will not be purged while under VA benefits and will have until the end of the semester to pay balance in full.

Policy on Tuition Refunds or Credit for Students Called to Active Military Service

Alabama State University students who are enrolled at the University and receive orders that place them on active duty, will immediately bring orders to the Office of Accessibility and Veteran Affairs (OAVA). It is the policy of Alabama State University to take every reasonable steps to ensure the students are not penalized for active-duty deployments or Annual Training orders.  The student, OAVA and the Registrar will counsel the student on their options. Options are listed below:

• If it is not after 60% of the term, the student will have the option of withdrawing with full refund of tuition and proportionate refund of room and board.

• If the call to duty occurs close to the end of the term, the student may be permitted to take the final examinations early and receive full credit for the course(s).

• If it is late in the term and the student does not wish to complete the final examinations, he or she may opt for either receiving “incompletes" in the course(s) or withdrawing.

Notify your professors and academic advisors immediately upon receipt of your orders. This policy complies with The Principles of Excellence.
