Military Education Benefits

Rock Valley College offers priority registration to all students using military education benefits (service member, veteran, spouse and dependent). Students interested in using military education benefits, federal and/or state, should contact the Veterans Services Offices at (815) 921-4163. For more information or review of eligible military programs visit: RockValleyCollege.edu/Veterans.

As of August 1, 2019 per 38 USC 3679 (e), Rock Valley College will not take the actions listed below, against any student using Post 9/11 (Chapter 33) or Veteran Readiness and Employment (Chapter 31) and Survivors and Dependent Educational Assistance (Chapter 35) while pending payment:

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

These provisions will be made once eligibility for the benefit has been established (ex: Certificate of Eligibility, written request to be certified, or see the VA School Certifying Official located on the second floor of the Student Center for all other requirements).
