Certification Request Forms

All students approved by the VA for federal education benefits have the option of using their benefit for any upcoming term. The VA does not require students to use their benefit every term, and therefore we require all students to request certification for each upcoming term only if they want to use their benefit.

• Current students using VA education benefits will receive an email invitation to submit certification requests after they register for each upcoming term. Please check your WU email account for email from va@winthrop.edu.
• First-time freshmen and transfer students using benefits at Winthrop for the first time will receive an email invitation to submit their certification requests after they attend a required orientation session (in person or virtual).
• First-time graduate students will receive an email invitation to submit their certification request after they register for classes.
• Current students requesting certification for a semester that has ended, please email your name, CWID and the term(s) you would like to have certified to va@winthrop.edu.

** Failure to submit the certification request form may result in your payments being late.
