Welcome to Your New Benefits Phase

Congratulations on securing new educational benefits! Whether you are transitioning from one program to another or utilizing military-connected support for the first time as a continuing student, we are here to ensure the administrative side of your journey is handled with precision.

Navigating the coordination of these benefits requires a bit of teamwork between you and our office. To get started, please follow these steps:

  • Review the Overview: Take a moment to read through the categories below to identify which tasks apply to your specific situation.

  • Find Your Benefit: Locate the section dedicated to the specific benefit you will be using (e.g., GI Bill®, VR&E, or CalVet College Fee Waiver).

  • Follow the Workflow: Each link provides a step-by-step guide on how to apply for and "activate" those benefits here at Cal Poly.

By following the specific instructions for your benefit type, you help us ensure your records are updated accurately and your funding is processed without delay.
