Fort Hays State University (FHSU) is an appropriately regionally accredited institution, as verified at this CHEA.org website: NCA-HLC. All coursework for these FHSU degrees is 100% online. These degrees are VA-approved.

VA eligible students opting for the “Non-Degree Seeking” status are expected to decide upon a major within two semesters or less. Enrollment beyond that second semester will not be recognized by the VA. These unique students are strongly encouraged and should be motivated to fulfill all applicable admission/enrollment requirements for the degree sought within their first semester at FHSU.

HOW TO “FINALIZE” YOUR REGISTRATION UPON APPROVAL FROM FHSU TO DO SO:

How to ensure receipt of your GI Bill (Chapter 31 and 33) Benefits if eligible:

  1. Apply to use your benefits at FHSU on VA GI Bill benefits at https://www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/.
  2. Send a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility to Robyn Brungardt (FHSU’s VA Certifying Official) at rbrungar@fhsu.edu as an email attachment.  Robyn can also be reached at 785-628-4436.
  3. Each semester you will need to fill out the Veteran’s Class Schedule after your advisor approves your courses at https://webapps.fhsu.edu/ClassScheduleForVeteransBenefits/ so that Robyn can certify your courses. Your VA file number is your SSN.
  4. Once your courses have been certified (you will receive a notification e-mail) then you should be able to pay for your courses in “Workday” by selecting the “Financial Assistance” option. (Chapter 33 & 31) – You do not actually pay any monies for these courses unless you have less than 100% eligibility for these benefits and have been so notified by the VA and in your individual Workday account.  Workday Student Resources – Fort Hays State University (FHSU)

In order to finalize your VA benefits, you will need to select the ‘Financial Aid’ payment option.  The amount of your GI Bill benefits will be indicated when choosing this option.  If your eligibility is less than 100% the balance will be indicated and is due when finalizing your enrollment.
