Applying for GI Bill Benefits
Your first step in receiving GI Bill Benefits is to submit VA Form 22-1990 (Application for VA Education Benefits) - either by paper or online. To access VONAPP (Veteran's Online Application), go to http://vabenefits.vba.va.gov/vonapp/main.asp. If applying online, you must send the VA a signature card - they will not process any application without a signature. You can also pick up an application form in the Registrar's or Financial Aid office at B-W. For more information on the GI Bill, go to http://www.gibill.va.gov/ or call 1-888-GI-BILL-1 to speak with a Veteran's Benefits Counselor in the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Enrollment Certification and Verification
"Certifying" and "verifying" your enrollment are two different procedures. Enrollment certification is done by Baldwin-Wallace, and lets the VA know how many hours or credits you will be enrolled in to determine your benefit payment rate. Enrollment verification is done by the student at the end of each month to let the VA know that your enrollment information has not changed.
Enrollment Certification at B-W:
Each semester, Baldwin-Wallace College must certify your enrollment to the Veterans’ Administration (VA)re: how many hours you will be enrolled at B-W that term.
To certify your enrollment at B-W each semester, contact:
Denise Manke
Registration & Records, Bonds Administration Building
440-826-8030

Enrollment Verification with VA:
Almost everyone receiving MGIB-Active Duty (Chapter 30) or MGIB-Selected Reserve (Chapter 1606) benefits must verify their enrollment with the VA each month to receive payment for that month. Your enrollment can be verified starting on the last calendar day of the month online by using WAVE - the Web Automated Verification of Enrollment at https://www.gibill.va.gov/wave or by calling toll free 1-877-823-2378.
The VA will send you a Certificate of Eligibility that states your remaining entitlement and monthly disbursement amounts. Your GI Bill check will normally be mailed to you at the beginning of each month for the previous month. (For example, the check you receive in October covers your eligibility from the month of September). If you have questions, call 1-888-GI-BILL-1.
Financial Aid
In addition to GI Bill benefits, most veteran students are eligible for financial aid such as federal and state grants and Stafford loans. Our web site gives lots of information on Financial Aid, or to talk with a financial aid counselor, contact:

Military Call to Active Duty
Baldwin-Wallace College will be as supportive and accommodating as possible for those students who must withdraw in a given semester because they have been called to active military duty. Exceptions to this policy are determined by the Dean of Student's Office. Any student who is called to active military duty should present his/her active duty orders to the Office of the Dean of Students. Depending on the activation date and the judgment of the individual faculty, the student has several options regarding the completion of coursework.
- A student may request a withdrawal. The withdrawal will be retroactive to the beginning
of the term. A student may do a complete withdrawal resulting in all tuition charges
removed. A student may do a partial withdrawal, receiving "W" grades in some courses.
Full-time students will not receive a refund if the "W" grades result in part-time status. - A student may request an "Incomplete" to be decided by the individual instructors. The
will not be any tuition adjustment for courses assigned "I" grades and the student will
have six weeks into the next term of enrollment to complete the "I" grade. - A student may request final grades at the discretion of individual faculty members.
Faculty and students would also have the option of turning the grade into
satisfactory/unsatisfactory if departure occurs prior to final exams. Tuition is not adjusted.
In all of the above cases, all room charges will be prorated. Any remaining Jacket Express
balance will be credited to the student's account. The College would not charge a student
carrying charges on back balances while he/she is in the military.
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC)
Students may enroll in Army and Air Force ROTC programs at Baldwin-Wallace College. Army instruction is given at John Carroll University, and Air Force instruction is given at Kent State University.
