How do I request certification?
VA students need to complete a Request for Certification Form and submit to the Records Office at Cleary University. The certifying official in the Records Office will certify your enrollment once you have registered for classes and submit it to the Veterans Administration. The Records Office can be contacted electronically at records@cleary.edu or by Faxing to 517.552.0375 Failure to provide complete information will result in a delay of certification. Such a request is not a guarantee that you will receive payment from the VA.

What else do I need to know about benefit payments and enrollment?
VA benefits are payable for approved courses and programs only. Restrictions apply to some courses and/or programs under some or all VA regulations. The Cleary University Certifying Official is required to report to VA the complete details of your enrollment and any other status changes.
VA students must promptly notify Cleary's Certifying Official of any change in enrollment, including official and unofficial withdrawals. VA students who fail to successfully complete a course are required to notify the Veteran Office of the last date of attendance. Failure to do so will result in Cleary University reporting that you never attended the course unless we have evidence showing the last date of attendance.
Who determines payment of my benefits?
Cleary University officials cannot determine eligibility or payment amount of VA benefits. VA students having questions concerning the type or amount of the VA benefits need to direct them to the Veterans Administration.
The VA office serving this area is:
VA Regional Office
P. O. Box 66830
St. Louis, MO 63166-6830
To make benefit inquiry you may call the St. Louis VA Office at 888.442.4551.
