Policy

Effective August 1, 2019, and in compliance with 38 USC § 3679(e), Touro University Worldwide (TUW) will not:

  • Prevent the student’s enrollment;
  • Assess a late penalty fee;
  • Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding;
  • Deny access to any resources (including classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities) available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills;

provided that the student:

  1. Submits a certificate of eligibility (COE) for entitlement to educational assistance under Chapter 31 or 33 no later than the first day of a course of education for the term;
  2. Submits a written request to use such entitlement;
  3. Provides additional information necessary to certify enrollment (as required by the VA or the institution).

Coverage Period

This policy is effective for the period beginning on the date the student provides the required documentation and ends when the VA provides payment or 90 days after the institution has certified tuition and fees, whichever occurs first.

Responsibility of the Student

Students are responsible for any portion of tuition and fees not covered by VA benefits, including but not limited to housing, meal plans, books, and supplies.
