degree requirements must be submitted to the Independent Learning veterans certifying
official. Only undergraduate-credit Independent Learning courses are approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Vocational Rehabilitation - Veterans receiving benefits under the Vocational Rehabilitation
program (Chapter 31) may receive approval for Independent Learning courses. For more information,
contact your Vocational Rehabilitation counselor, who is assigned by your county VA office. For more information about

assistance policy and procedures with their supporting education center or Navy Campus office before registering.
