Veteran’s Benefits
Students with Veteran’s Benefits should contact the Admiral Vern Clark Veterans Center located in the Assemblies of God Seminary at Evangel University. In accordance with the Veterans’ Benefits and Transition Act of 2018, Evangel University will not require that a Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 recipient borrow funds to cover the individual’s inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursements of a payment of the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
Veteran Deployments
All students receiving military orders that affect the student’s classes at Evangel University or AGTS must see the Veterans Center Coordinator to advise them on the following three options if deployment is after the drop/add period:
Option 1: Continue with the course as a modified directed research or distance learning option as approved by the instructor of the course. This option should only be used if the military workload of the deployed service member is conducive to studies during off duty time.
Option 2: If the deployment is a short-term deployment, the instructor may authorize an extension to complete the work missed during the service member’s deployment. If this option is used, the Records and Registration Office will record an incomplete grade for the course with the instructor’s agreed upon course complete date.
Option 3: Full withdrawal with extenuating circumstances. If this option is employed, the Veterans Center Coordinator will work with the Records and Registration Office to ensure the military student is supported and the service member has weighed all options before committing to withdrawal. Fully withdrawn students will receive 100% refund on tuition and fees.
Iowa Students
Evangel University will adopt a military tuition and fee refund policy for a student who is a member (or the spouse of a member if the member has a dependent child), of the Iowa national guard or reserve forces of the United States and who is ordered to national guard duty or federal active duty.
This policy should allow the student to:
a) Withdraw from the student’s entire registration and receive a full refund of tuition and mandatory fees.
b) Make arrangements with the student’s instructors for course grades or for incompletes that shall be completed by the student at a later date. If such arrangements are made, the student’s registration shall remain intact and tuition and mandatory fees shall be assessed for the courses in full.
c) Make arrangements with only some of the student’s instructors for grades, or for incompletes that shall be completed by the student at a later date. If such arrangements are made, the registration for those courses shall remain intact and tuition and mandatory fees shall be assessed for those courses. Any course for which arrangements cannot be made for grades or incompletes shall be considered dropped and the tuition and mandatory fees for the course refunded.
