Veteran's G.I. Bill® Assistance

If you are a Veteran applying to PCC for the first time, you will follow the same application and enrollment steps as non-veteran students.

Additionally, you will need to submit the following documents to the Veterans Clerk in the Veterans Resource Center in W-108 to be certified for benefits:

Required Documents

  1. Report of Separation from Active Duty (DD214).

  2. The Veterans Clerk may request other documents necessary to complete the application for benefits. You must submit official transcripts from all colleges you attended within your first semester of attendance at Pasadena City College. Failure to provide transcripts may result in termination of veteran benefits. 

Notification of Changes

You are responsible for notifying the Veterans Clerk in the Records office:

  1. Any changes in units, address, marital status, or dependents.

  2. Termination of program.

Certain restrictions apply to V.A. benefits. Each veteran is responsible for meeting them. Veterans should obtain a copy of "Veterans Statement of Responsibility'' from the Veterans Resource Center in W-108 before registering for classes.

Conditions of Readmission of Servicemembers

When the student cannot continue to attend school due to military service, the college must promptly readmit a service member into the next class or classes in the servicemember's program beginning after the servicemember provides notice of his or her intent to reenroll, unless the servicemember requests a later date of readmission, or unusual circumstances require the institution to admit the servicemember at a later date. For example, a later date of admission would be justified if an institution must make efforts to help the servicemember become prepared to resume the program, and such efforts would not be completed in time for the servicemember to begin the next class.

Certain restrictions may apply where there are changes to industry/licensure standards at the time the student member reenrolls into the college.

An otherwise eligible servicemember qualifies if:

  1. The institution is given notice of the servicemember's absence for service.
  2. The cumulative length of absences from the institution by reason of service does not exceed five years.
  3. The servicemember gives notice of his or her intent to return by the applicable time limit.
