Veterans Benefits
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is proud to include a number of America’s veterans in our vibrant community of students. We offer veteran benefits for all undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as certificate programs.
How Do I Receive VA Benefits?
If you are new to the BAC, please complete the required forms on to designate the BAC as the school you will be attending.
Students need to submit confirmation of eligibility, such as a Certificate of Eligibility or information from eBenefits, prior to being awarded VA education benefits. Once VA educational benefits have been determined, students receiving Chapter 31 or Chapter 33 benefits will not be penalized if/when the VA is late making payments. Students will not be prevented from enrolling, be assessed a late penalty fee, and be required to have an alternative or additional source of funding if they are approved to receive benefits.
Any charges not covered by VA educational benefits will be the responsibility of the student and all fees will apply to any remaining balance.

Yellow Ribbon Program
The BAC is a proud participant in the , which allows us to enter into an agreement with VA. We are able to fund tuition expenses that exceed the veteran student’s Post 9/11 GI Bill® benefits. Eligible students may receive additional grant funding to assist with tuition expenses in addition to their Post 9/11 GI Bill® benefits.
The BAC Yellow Ribbon funding is limited, and is available on a first-come-first-served basis. If you are interested in obtaining additional information, contact the Veterans Administration at 1-888-GI-BILL-1 (1.888.442.4551) to speak with a Veterans Benefits Counselor or go to .
Changes to Your Enrollment and Confirmation of Benefits
Veterans are required to notify their VA Certifying Official when there is a change in enrollment or a change in benefit type at any point during the academic year. Once matriculated, students are required to submit a confirmation of benefits form via student forms prior to the start of the semester. Students that do not confirm with this submission will not be certified for the semester.
