Catalog Requirements for Veterans Administration Funding

If your institution receives funding from the Veterans Administration, you'll need specific information in your catalog for certification. Applying for certification can be a tedious process for your staff, especially when it comes to organizing your course catalog and knowing which information to include. To make the process easier, we’ve compiled a checklist of what content you’ll need in your catalog or handbook before submitting it to the Veterans Administration for approval.

##Catalog Requirements Your institution must submit two copies of its most recent catalog version, which must include:

Graduation requirements

• The grading system of the institution
• The minimum grades considered satisfactory
• Conditions for interruption for unsatisfactory grades or progress
• A description of the probationary period, if any, allowed by the institution
• Conditions of reentrance for those students dismissed for unsatisfactory progress
• A statement regarding progress records kept by the institution and furnished the student
