To assist in accurately completing your Student Educational Plan, we recommend that all your transcripts from the Military and other colleges and universities be submitted. Your enrollment in courses according to your SEP will assist in certifying your eligibility, if it is determined at a later time that you received payment for courses previously taken you will be in an overpayment and further funding will be terminated. Transcript(s) must be official, sealed, and printed less than 90 days ago. Please mail all transcript(s) to:

Moreno Valley College
ATT: Veterans Services
16130 Lasselle Street
Moreno Valley, CA 92551

* Please check WebAdvisor to determine when all transcripts have been received.

After all transcript(s) have been received (from any colleges / universities attended and the Military) and you have submitted your Certificate/Letter of Eligibility to Veteran's Services, you will be given a Veteran's Counseling Referral Slip. You must take this slip to the Counseling Department to set up an appointment with a counselor to complete your Student Educational Plan.

* The VA will not pay for classes that are not included on the VA Student Educational Plan.

Log on to WebAdvisor to check your registration date, register for classes, request a parking permit, and view any holds that you may have and are responsible for. It is mandatory that you contact Veteran's Services of any changes in your enrollment after you have received your benefits.

If you have not received your GI Bill benefits please see Veterans Services as Moreno Valley College offers a deferral of payment for VA students (see Step 9). Also, apply for Financial Services as indicated earlier as VA students may qualify for financial assistance.

Once you have your signed Student Educational Plan and have registered for your classes, Veteran students are required to turn in a Veteran's Statement of Responsibility form. The Veteran's Statement of Responsibility form must be submitted every semester after enrolling in classes to request your benefits and a tuition deferment for each term. After MVC has submitted your certification, you will receive a confirmation email to your RCCD student email address and it may take up to 4-6 weeks to receive your benefits from the VA. If you do not receive your benefits within this time, please contact the VA office at (877)823-2378 or visit their website at www.gibill.va.gov

Students receiving chapter 30, 1606 and 1607 benefits must verify their enrollment monthly by Web Automated Verification of Enrollment (WAVE) at www.gibill.va.gov/wave/. All other VA students are strongly encouraged to check the website for any information.
