Tuition Information for Active Duty Servicemembers and Veterans

Recipients of the “Forever GI Bill®,” as well as their dependents, will have lifelong access to its benefits.

GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)

 

In recognition of challenges faced by those transitioning from military to civilian lives and careers, CSU Global offers multiple options to help maximize the value of these resources, including personalized degree programs, dedicated veteran support groups and advisors, and career-relevant learning outcomes.

MILITARY TUITION RATES

CSU Global offers additional benefits for veterans, including military tuition assistance and special military tuition rates. This 10 percent discount is available to the following individuals:

  • Active-duty servicemembers, providing a copy of current orders, an LES, or another document clearly identifying active-duty status.
  • Military and Veteran spouses and dependents.
  • Veterans (retired/separated personnel) with an honorable discharge who provide a copy of a DD214 showing Character of Service.

Depending on eligibility, tuition costs may be covered by available military benefits, and with our tuition guarantee, student costs will not increase as long as he/she is enrolled. Financial aid is also available to those who qualify.

Please note: CSU Global is not a Yellow Ribbon Program school, as the Post-9/11 GI Bill® covers all qualified military student tuition charges accrued at a public university, if the student is 100-percent post-9/11 eligible.

Visit gibill.va.gov for more information. For students going through the enrollment process, please call 855-753-9557. For continuing students, please call 877-900-2655 and select option 1 (undergraduate) or option 2 (graduate), to speak with a student success counselor.

NEW MILITARY STUDENTS

All new students must apply to CSU Global, submit official transcripts from all sources of credit, and receive a degree plan.

New military students must also complete and return the CSU Global military information form through their student document center, as well as a copy of their DD-214s, indicating an honorable discharge, an LES, or current orders. This documentation will ensure that students receive the proper billing rate and that their military tuition benefits are processed in a timely fashion. Students who are going through the enrollment process can submit these forms to tuitionplanning@csuglobal.edu. [Currently enrolled students can submit these forms directly to their assigned student success counselors.]

STUDENTS USING VA EDUCATION BENEFITS

To use your VA education benefits, you must first apply for them through http://www.gibill.va.gov/apply-for-benefits/. The VA Regional Office in St. Louis, MO may take 8-12 weeks to process applications for educational benefits, so early registration is encouraged. If you are not sure which type of benefit you wish to use, contact the Office of Veteran’s Administration. The VA education benefits number is 888-442-4551 if you have additional questions.

Once you’ve enrolled, submit a copy or screen shot of the completed application confirmation page to tuitionplanning@csuglobal.edu or your assigned student success counselor to alert the university that you have completed your application for educational benefits.

MILITARY TUITION ASSISTANCE

Admitted students must submit their Degree Plan to their Education Center (Army students will upload this form directly to armyignited.com/app) in order to receive a TA Authorization Form. Please note that your TA Authorization Form must be obtained from your Education Center prior to the start of each course, and must be submitted no later than the 7th day of the term. For specific deadlines, please contact your education office at your local military installation.

Once your degree plan is approved, submit your TA Authorization Form to MilitaryTA@CSUGlobal.edu.

By signing the TA Authorization Form, you give your consent for CSU Global to share information regarding your academic record with your branch of service, which is required in order to process your TA in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).

  • Different services have different TA education benefits. Each service sets a TA rate and governs the process for administering their TA program. If you have questions about your rate, please contact your Education Center.
  • For more information, review your branch’s specific TA policies: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and National Guard.

MILITARY TUITION ASSISTANCE WITHDRAW AND REFUNDS

CSU Global will return any unearned tuition assistance (TA) funds on a proportional basis through at least the 60 percent portion of the period for which the funds were provided. TA funds are earned proportionally during an enrollment period, with unearned funds returned based upon when a student stops attending. Refunds will be processed within 30 days from the date the withdrawal is posted. In instances when a Service Member stops attending their online courses due to a military service obligation, students may be eligible to complete the tuition appeal process.

For any student using TA funds to pay for online educational costs at CSU Global who withdraws prior to completing 60% of their course(s), CSU Global will return any unearned TA funds to the Government based on a student’s attendance and date of withdrawal. CSU Global will calculate the return of unearned TA funds using the following formula once LDA (last day of attendance) has been determined: Number of days completed / Total days of the course (start to end date) = percent earned Table shows the percentage of TA funds returned according to the last date of attendance and withdrawal from course

Days Attended % of TA Funds Returned
(based on an 8 week course)
Day 1 98% return
Day 2 96% return
Day 3 95% return
Day 4 93% return
Day 5 91% return
Day 6 89% return
Day 7 87% return
Day 8 86% return
Day 9 84% return
Day 10 80% return
Day 11 80% return
Day 12 79% return
Day 13 77% return
Day 14 75% return
Day 15 73% return
Day 16 71% return
Day 17 70% return
Day 18 68% return
Day 19 66% return
Day 20 64% return
Day 21 62% return
Day 22 61% return
Day 23 59% return
Day 24 57% return
Day 25 55% return
Day 26 54% return
Day 27 52% return
Day 28 50% return
Day 29 48% return
Day 30 46% return
Day 31 45% return
Day 32 43% return
Day 33 41% return **
Day 34 + 0% return

** Represents 60% of the course completed

Using the calculation above, CSU Global will return some or all of the TA funds awarded to Service Member who did not complete at least 60% of each course. This may create a balance on the CSU Global student ledger or a balance due to the military service branch. In some instances, a student could owe both CSU Global and the military service branch. This will depend on how much of the term was completed at the time of withdrawal.

Students who are considering a course withdrawal are encouraged to speak with their student success counselor about their options, and the financial and academic prior to making this decision. Please feel free to contact us with any additional questions you may have.
