How many classes should I take (Veterans)?
Updated October 14, 2022
During a regular 11- or 12-week term (Fall, Winter, Spring), the VA considers 12 credits to be full time. To receive your full monthly benefit, you must sign up for 12 credits that are all in session the entire term (no short classes), and all credits must apply to your degree. During summer, the length of courses can be different; thus, changing the full-time calculation. We encourage you to contact the Veteran Education Benefits office when considering summer term and to?learn more.
