Overview

This process allows VA Education Benefit students to apply for tuition deferments.  Any student utilizing VA Education Benefits as a funding source is permitted to apply for a deferment of 90 days in the Fall and Spring Terms and 30 days in the Summer Terms.  It is important to note that a request for deferment may be disapproved by UWF if the student Has an unpaid balance from a pervious semester for any amount of money.  A second and equally important issue is that a student must be attending the term during the request.  Example-Summer Term A or B student requests deferment; the student, if qualified may receive the deferment for both the A and B terms because they begin on the same day.  Another Example-Summer A and C student requests deferment; the student, if qualified has the A term deferred but the C term is not because the student is not actively attending the C term yet.  THIS PROCESS IS TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON COMPUTER INTERACTION AND SUPPORT BETWEEN THE MVRC AND THE CASHIER'S OFFICE.
