Guest Students

   

Using Benefits

A student may take courses at more than one school that apply to his or her degree. The school that will grant the degree is the student’s “primary” school. All other schools are the “secondary” school.

The VA can pay for benefits for courses taken at secondary schools. If the student is only enrolled at the secondary school, the VA will pay for the credits taken at the secondary school. If the student is enrolled at the primary school and the secondary school at the same time, VA will pay for the combined credit, taking overlapping enrollment dates into account.

If NJIT is the “primary” school, then you are considered a “Guest Student” at the “secondary” school
