Previous Credits: To ensure unnecessary repeats of previously passed courses the VA requires schools to review all prior credits earned by the VA student for transferability. Transcripts related to all previous postsecondary education must be evaluated, regardless of whether or not the student previously used VA education benefits for the course, Any prior credit approved will be applied toward the student's current program reducing the overall completion credits and tuition as appropriate. Note: Previous Credit does not have to be granted if not applicable, but all previous credit must be evaluated. The approval of previous credit follows the school's published policy located in the school catalog. InterCoast does not charge transfer credit fees for its Veterans students. Transfer of Credits: The transferability of credits earned at InterCoast is at the complete discretion of an institution to which students may seek to transfer. Veterans and eligible persons are eligible to apply for federal financial aid before packaging or arranging student loans or alternative financing. Veteran students will not be automatically renewed in a course and/or program and will need to approve of the enrollment in the course or program by signing the enrollment agreement. Students who are members of the Armed Forces, including reserve components and National Guard will be readmitted if such members are temporarily unavailable or must suspend enrollment by reason of serving in the Armed Forces. The institution will accommodate short absences for such services in the Armed Forces. This school maintains a policy for the refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges in the event the veteran or eligible person fails to enter the course, withdraws or is discontinued at any time prior to the completion. The amountcharged to the veteran or eligible person for tuition, fees, and other charges does not exceed the approximate pro rata portion of the total charges for tuition, fees, and other charges, that the length of the completed portion of the course should bear to its totallength.
