Veterans Benefits

Veterans follow the same procedure in paying bills as do other students.
The Veterans Administration makes reimbursements after students
have registered for courses. Veterans claiming benefits must have an
approved program to be eligible for benefits. Following is a summary
of Bowie State University's credits and training time for graduate
veterans/dependents:

9 credits Full time
6-8 credits 3/4 time
3-5 credits 1/2 time
1-2 credits 1/4 time or less

Training time will be adjusted for accelerated sessions (i.e., summer
school).

Auditing

Courses may be audited by registering and paying the regular class fee.
Auditing students are not required to take examinations or to submit
other requirements of the class. Students who register for credit cannot
change to audit status and students who register for audit cannot
change to credit status.
