The University of Lynchburg offers a deferment for students using Veteran Administration
Education benefits, which extends the payment deadline for students whose veterans’ benefits
are not available by the tuition deadline. Generally, the deferment period extends the date of
payment until the specified date shown below or until funds become available, whichever comes
first. Deferments are a separate program and should not be confused with other University
payment arrangements.
Students participating in educational programs through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
may qualify for a deferment of tuition and fees only after producing a copy of a Statement of
Benefits or a Certificate of Eligibility. Interested students should contact the Office of the
University Registrar for more information. Deferments are only granted prior to the tuition
deadline for each semester, provided all past due debts are satisfied.
Chapter 31 or Chapter 33
If a student is eligible to use Chapter 31 or Chapter 33, the University will defer students’
payment deadlines. The payment deadlines will be deferred a minimum of 90 days from the
standard payment deadline. Charges not covered by the VA must be paid by the tuition deadline
to prevent penalty fees. Penalties will not be imposed on charges covered by the VA, but may be
imposed on charges that are past due and not covered by the VA.
