Rate of Pursuit

Undergraduate Enrollments

For undergraduate enrollments, 12 semester or quarter hours are required for full-time training. The School Certifying Official submits the term dates and credit hours of the enrollment to the VA which will calculate the rate of pursuit. 

For example: If 12 credits is considered full-time, a course load of 6 credits yields a rate of pursuit of 50% (6 梅 12 = .50), whereas a course load of 7 credits yields a rate of pursuit of 58% (7 梅 12 = .58). In this scenario, a Veteran would need to enroll for at least 7 credits (such as two 3-credit classes and a 1-credit lab) to receive the housing allowance benefits. 

奶糖直播 University offers classes in terms that are shorter than a semester or quarter. This is especially true for online classes and summer enrollments, in these cases, the VA calculates weighted "equivalent credit hours" so that fewer credits are required for fulltime (and more than half-time) training. 

When calculating monthly housing allowance, the VA will consider how many credits the student is pursuing on each given day of the term. 

Graduate Enrollments

For graduate enrollments, 6 semester or quarter hours are required for full-time training.  The School Certifying Official submits the term dates and credit hours of the enrollment to the VA which will calculate the rate of pursuit.

When calculating monthly housing allowance, the VA will consider how many credits the student is pursuing on each given day of the term.
