Exception: VA Chapter 31 and 33 students. According to the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018, Chapter 31 and 33 students will be granted an additional 90 days after the date on which the educational institution certifies the students. Students cannot be denied access to any school resources, enrollment or transcripts for any balances outstanding by the VA.
