Before registering for classes, please review the Benefits Checklist page.
When creating your class schedule, you should keep to the following certification guidelines.
Classes used for certification must fulfill a requirement within your current degree program. Classes that are supplemental, highly recommended, or beyond those required for your current degree program cannot be certified by the VA.
Full-Time Enrollment
The VA will factor in the start and end dates for each class you are enrolled in when determining your full-time enrollment status.

SUMMER TERM
Undergraduate Students (Day Undergraduates and Flex Online)
The VA (not Chaminade) determines your enrollment status for the summer terms. If you have questions about being considered full-time, contact the VA’s Education Call Center with the following information:
In-Person Requirement
To meet the in-person requirement for monthly housing allowance (MHA), you must be enrolled more than half-time AND have at least one in-person or hybrid designated class. In-person or hybrid classes must have a physical location assigned.
If you are taking an in-person/hybrid designated class, MHA is the same as the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) for an E-5 with dependents located in the zip code (96816) of the school.
If you are taking a combination of in-person/hybrid and online classes, then as long as you are enrolled in at least one credit of an in-person/hybrid class during the same period as the online class(es), the VA will issue the housing allowance as though you were taking all in-person classes.
If you are taking exclusively online classes, MHA is based on half the national average as determined by the VA.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at [email protected] or (808) 735-4780.
