Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018 Section 103
Valparaiso University will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees, the denial of access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities, or the requirement that a covered individual borrow additional funds, on any covered individual because of the individuals inability to meet his or her financial obligations to the institution due to the delayed disbursement funding from VA under Chapter 31 or 33.
If a student is not 100%, Section 103 states: the restriction on penalties would not apply in cases where the student owes additional payment to the school beyond the amount of the tuition and fee payment from VA to the school. VA would have to make payments to schools no later than 60 days after receiving the tuition and fee certification from the school, and they would have to report semiannually to Congress any cases in which VA fails to make such payments within 60 days of certification.
Students are responsible for reviewing account activity regularly.

Financial Aid And Student Accounts
At a Glance
Estimate Your Cost
The Net Price Calculator helps prospective students and families estimate the cost of attending Valparaiso University after grants and scholarships. Based on recent student award data, it provides an estimate of financial aid and remaining costs to help families plan ahead.
These estimates are not guarantees of aid, and students must still complete all admissions and financial aid requirements by the appropriate deadlines. Families with unusual financial circumstances are encouraged to contact the Office of Financial Aid for assistance.
FAFSA: Your Key to Funding College
Each fall, the FAFSA becomes available on October 1, allowing undergraduate and graduate students to begin planning their financial aid for the next academic year. At Valpo, financial aid awards are reviewed and processed on a rolling basis once your admission application and FAFSA are received, giving you earlier insight into your college costs. Indiana-based undergraduates who wish to be considered for state grant funding must complete the FAFSA no later than April 15.
