PROGRAMS EXCLUDED FROM HAZLEWOOD ACT
Hazlewood exemption cannot be used for executive education and certain certificate programs for the reason that the school does not receive state formula funding (tax support) for these programs (ex. Exective MBA, Alt Certification Program (ACP). If you have questions about your specific program you are enrolled in, please contact our department so that we may assist you.
"Enroll in classes for which the college receives tax support (i.e., a course that does not depend solely on student tuition and fees to cover its cost), unless the college's governing board has ruled to let Veterans receive the benefit while taking non-funded courses"
