How do we know we have completed all the requirements for training?

If your institution has multiple sites/facility codes does the 85/15 rule apply to each facility code or the institution as a whole?

Thank you!

The definition of supported students is too convoluted to accomplish the stated goal of the VA.

ok

Does a mini semester count as a regular term? We just had a mini semester start Oct 4 will that be the date or Spring semester that is the next full semester?

We submitted a 35%exemption request back in February but never heard anything back.

We have a 15 week standard term and a 1st session & 2nd session within that term. Do we need to submit calculations for all three?

Where do we find the 35% exemption form?

If it is not based on FTE, why do we have to report FTE on the 85/15 form?

Is there a template for reporting?

I apologize, but no matter how many time I hear this. It is all greek to me. I have never done the 85/15 or 35% exemption,

I'm out here stressing how to even begin.

I am confused!!!!

Where can we find the forms to submit our 35% exemption request?

So now with the reset...does everyone need to submit another exemption request even if they submitted one before?

For VAONCE what is the additional form other than 22-8794?

In simple terms can you define a supported student?

If your total student enrollment for the college is over 50,000 and total number of veterans are approximately 1500, is it safe to say the college should be eligible for the exemption

For schools with over 200 degree programs, can a spreadsheet be used to list the programs for the exemption application?

Pardon me if I missed this, but If a college has multiple campuses, do we base the 35% on total students across the campuses or each site has to have a separate one?

Is it safe to say if we have semester classes and submit that within 30 days of the term start date, that we also submit all mini mester information at a later time as well?

But that is not FTE, that isa head count and on the 35% waiver form.

He is saying one form is one way and the other form is different

81/15 is FTE and 35 is head count

Does anyone have an 85/15 Argos report they would like to share?

We have a total of 7 extension campuses in addition to the main campus. Some students are enrolled at multiple campuses. Do we have to count those student for all those campuses? I really need help! Thank You

Thank you, I would appreciate that.

I apologize if I missed it - but where is the template for reporting, in excel format?

For the schools who have figured out the 85/15 and 35% calculations, will you be willing to share how you calculated your numbers?

If we have to provide the 85/15 when the VA asks for it even if we have an exemption. VA states we need to keep the 85/15 on file even with the exemption. What's the purpose of the exemption.

But there are more than just VA students that are deemed supported.

Yes, I think so

Will the presentations be available on the GAVCO website?

Some college like us also extended out our payment deadlines past 30 days after the semester starts which inflates our supported students. Also using COVID funds to discharge their balance I believe will make those students become supported students.

I'm sorry, repeat that

My brain just exploded.

That was clear as mud.

That was definitely written by lawyers

The third bullet point is what I needed clarification on.

Some practical examples would be helpful. Something like "Joe has 400 students...blah blah blah"

I have 400 students on my payment plan but their payment term is 5 months. So, they will not be paid within the 30 days I have to report. Are they supported or non-supported?

Ok, but if 85/15 is FTE and 35 is headcount, how does that work with multiple campuses? I get it for the 85/15, but is the same rule for 35%?

We previously received information from the ELR that Rounding Out could be used with any VA educational benefit - to include ch. 35. We thought that we saw information somewhere that STEM scholarship students CANNOT round out in their final term. However, we do not know where we got this information. Can you confirm whether STEM students can Round Out in their final term?

No, but thanks.

The VA recently changed the calculation for the TT/FT field in VA ONCE for ch. 33 graduate students enrolled on shorter terms (the SCO now calculates the full-time modifier using the method provided during the August Office Hours). Do we need to change the way we calculate the graduate training levels (full-time, 3/4, 1/2) for ch. 35 or ch. 1606 students on shorter terms as well?

I think so. The auditors always come to Branch campus.

Is there someone in addition to Mr. Noble we can speak to for assistance when he's not available?

When submitting mini mester 85 15 information (after initial full term information) do we include only the mini mester students or all students again? Some full term students would have dropped or added by this time.

C Term is a term alone, not a cohort.
