Veterans and Financial Aid

 

Veterans applying to CCC who plan to use their VA Education Benefits should apply for benefits at www.ebenefits.va.gov. Veterans should meet with the CCC School Certifying Officer and receive the required campus-based documents to begin the certification process. 

Credit for military schools and experience, as recognized by the American Council on Education “Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services,” will be evaluated and approved by the College upon completing 12 credit hours at CCC. All documentation of previous education and
experience should be given to the Registrar and School Certifying Officer.
