Round Out Policy
The Department of Veteran Affairs round out policy allows a student using VA Benefits to increase training time or rate of pursuit, up to full time, in their last academic term only. This benefit can only be used once per program.
This policy was beneficial to those students who may only need 3 hours to graduate in their final term but wanted to receive full time education benefits.
The VA previously made a decision to terminate the Round Out program effective August 1, 2021. Since the VA has reversed their decision and will continue to honor the program with the following stipulations:
- The courses taken for “round out” would count toward an enrolled individuals graduation requirements – as specified in the curriculum.
- Have not been already completed. – Cannot retake a class that has already been successfully completed.
