Students who are utilizing VA benefits, with the exception of students utilizing VR&E (Chapter 31), will see their certification data in my.Harvard once the School Certifying Official (SCO) has submitted data for a given term to the VA. When viewing your student account in my.Harvard, scroll to the bottom of the page. Once you’ve been certified, you’ll see the following:

Harvard University submits two certifications to the VA – The first is simply the dates of enrollment and the expected enrollment level to ensure students receive their BAH in a timely manner. The second is submitted after add/drop for the term and corrects the enrollment level, if necessary, and indicates the tuition and required fees for the term. This is what triggers payment for CH33 to Harvard University. Students utilizing Chapter 31 will see their information under Third-Party Billing details. Invoices for Chapter 31 are sent to VA counselors once the add/drop period for the term has passed.

Students who are receiving CH33 will be contacted by the VA each month to verify their enrollment once certification is submitted. If you fail to respond for two consecutive months, your BAH will be suspended by the VA. If you are unable to maintain your enrollment and require a LOA or withdrawal, please notify your registrar and financial aid office as soon as possible.
