How do I submit a Request for Certification?
To use your VA education benefits at UMGC, you must submit a Request for Certification each term. The university does not automatically certify your enrollment—this request authorizes UMGC to process your benefits.
Submitting your request:
- Activates your VA benefits for tuition and housing
- Confirms your classes are eligible
- Helps prevent delays in processing or payment
To submit your request in MyUMGC:
- Log in to MyUMGC
- Navigate to Veteran Certification
- Select the semester you wish to certify
- Select Complete Request Form
- Complete and click Submit Request
Important: Failure to submit a Request for Certification may result in disenrollment.
For additional information, visit our Certification of Benefits page. If you are having technical difficulties submitting the request, please connect with technical support at 888-360-8682 (24/7).
