Oakwood University is approved as an institution qualified to offer education to veterans under the provisions of the Veterans Readjustment Act of 1966. Veterans who have completed high school or passed the GED or equivalent are admitted under regular admissions standards for freshmen. Veterans transferring to the University must meet the requirements for transfer students.
Once enrolled, the veteran must present the Certificate of Eligibility for Educational Benefits to the university’s School Certifying Official (SCO) in the Office of Student Financial Services to ensure receipt of educational benefits.
Physical education/activity credit and equivalent Oakwood University credit completed while in the armed services of the United States of America will be considered for those veterans who submit official documentation of military service and educational credit earned. Credit will be determined based on the recommendations as outlined by The American Council on Education (ACE) – Ace Military Guide.
For students receiving VA education benefits, any complaint against the school should be routed through the VA GI Bill Feedback System by going to the following link: http://www.benefits.va.gov/GIBILL/Feedback.asp. The VA will then follow up through the appropriate channels to investigate the complaint and resolve it satisfactorily.
