Title 38 United States Code Section 3679(e) Compliance Statement

In accordance with Title 38 U.S. Code § 3679(e), Trine University will not impose any penalty—including the assessment of late fees, denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds—due to the delayed disbursement of funding from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under Chapter 31 (Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment) or Chapter 33 (Post-9/11 GI Bill).

To qualify for this provision, covered individuals must:

  • Submit a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) for entitlement to education assistance under Chapter 31 or 33, or provide a Statement of Benefits from the VA’s eBenefits portal;
  • Submit a completed VA Form 28-1905 (for Chapter 31 recipients, if applicable);
  • Provide all other required documentation needed to certify enrollment.

This protection will extend from the date the documentation is provided until the earlier of:

  • The date on which payment from the VA is received, or
  • 90 days after the institution has certified tuition and fees to the VA.

Trine University remains committed to supporting our veteran and military-connected students and ensuring uninterrupted access to their education.
