Connecticut veterans eligible for the course fee waiver benefit will be compliant with the following Connecticut Veterans Waiver requirements:

  1. 90 consecutive days of active duty (active duty for training not applicable);
  2. an honorable discharge from the U.S. Armed Forces;
  3. a copy of Member-4 DD-214 (with required dates of service); and
  4. a status of matriculated student (officially accepted and current college fees). College fees and other applicable fees must be paid each registration period.

Eligibility ceases upon withdrawal, dismissal, and/or graduation.

If a veteran elects to receive benefits under Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008 (Post 9/11 GI Bill™), the benefits are applied first, and the tuition waiver applies to the balance.
