Government Shutdown

We understand students may have concerns related to their VA benefits during the government shutdown. The VA is still processing educational benefits during this time. For updates on VA services impacted by the shutdown, please go to VA Contingency Planning.

The Registrar’s Office and Veteran’s Services are here to help students who are using military education benefits understand how their benefits work towards funding their education. We process transactions between UMBC and the Department of Veteran Affairs. This can be a confusing process so we have developed an admitted student checklist, returning student checklist, and for those temporarily studying at UMBC, a guest student checklist.

VA has a useful resource that can help them make decisions about what to do next. It’s a three-part guide, “Building Your Future with the GI Bill®”:
