Veterans Benefits.  The U.S. Veterans Administration operates various education assistance programs for eligible veterans, war orphans, a surviving spouse or child of any veteran killed while on duty with the Armed Forces, disabled veterans, dependents of a veteran with service-related total disability, and certain members of the selected reserve. Inquiries concerning eligibility may be directed to the Veterans Administration U.S. Department Regional Office (800-827-1000) or to the veterans coordinator on each campus. In Newark, the number is 973-353-5220.

Veterans and others who plan to utilize veterans education benefits should initially present the Veterans Administration Certificate of Eligibility Form(s) and/or discharge papers (certified copy of the DD214) when registering for courses. If applying for other financial aid with the university, veterans must report that they will receive veterans' education benefits to the Office of Financial Aid.

Veterans planning to train under Chapter 32 VEAP, Chapter 35 (survivors and dependents), Chapter 30 of the New (Montgomery) GI Bill of 1984, or Chapter 106 for Reservists are required by the university to pay cash for tuition, fees, books, and supplies, when due. Veterans, in turn, receive an allowance for each month of schooling based upon credits and number of dependents.

No veteran may officially withdraw from a course (or courses) without prior approval from the academic services and/or dean of students offices. All withdrawals must be submitted in writing. The date of official withdrawal will be the determining date for changes in benefits. Failure to comply with the official school withdrawal procedure may affect both past and future benefits. Any change in schedule also must be reported to the certifying official located in the Office of the Registrar. In Newark, this office is located at 249 University Avenue (Room 309, Blumenthal Hall).

The Office of Veteran Affairs serves student veterans at Rutgers-Newark and residents of the surrounding communities. Information and assistance are offered regarding GI benefits, admission, financial aid, work-study programs, tutoring, and employment opportunities. The office processes forms for New Jersey state veterans benefits and grants, and keeps veterans informed of current state and national legislation affecting them. Both personal and group counseling for veterans is available.
