titleSix-Credit Exclusion (1st time ever withdrawing)

Six-Credit Hour Exclusion 

If this is your first time ever withdrawing while using VA Education benefits the VA automatically grants mitigating circumstances for up to 6 credits the first time a student reduces or terminates and mitigating circumstances must be considered. This automatic grant is called the 6-Credit Hour Exclusion. The exclusion is a one-time grant made the first-time mitigating circumstances must be considered for the student. Up to 6 credits can be excluded if the student has been awarded benefits for the credit. 

  • If the student withdraws from 3 credits, the exclusion will be granted for 3 credits and the student’s one-time exclusion is used.
  • If the student withdraws from 12 credits, the exclusion will be granted for 6 credits, the student’s one-time exclusion is used, and the student must provide mitigating circumstances for the other 6 credits.


Important Note: The 6-Credit Hour Exclusion cannot be granted if the student completes the term and receives non-punitive grades.
