Using Your Veterans Benefits at Duquesne

Duquesne University will be participating in the Yellow Ribbon Program during the 2010-2011 academic year. If you are apply for and are accepted for admission, you may use your benefits in any undergraduate or graduate program.

In addition, veterans who are eligible for Montgomery GI Bill educational benefits may use their benefits here, upon acceptance and registration at Duquesne University.

Submitting Documentation

Required documentation includes a copy of the Certificate of Eligibility for all veterans, and a copy of the most recent DD214 for veterans who are not on active duty.  If you have used your benefits at another school, you will also need to provide us with a completed form 22-1995: "Change of Program of Place of Training."  Send this information to the Office of the Registrar. That office will submit this documentation to the VA to process your benefits information for the semester.

Email Kathy Scheer, or call her at 412.396.6211, if you have any questions.

Please note: notification to Veterans Affairs is required for each semester of enrollment.
