Accessing Your VA Benefits

  • What do you need to certify your Benefits? Get your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the VA
  • How do you get your COE? Apply online at www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/ or in person at your local VA Regional Office. 

Consult with the NYU Certifying Official in the Registrar’s Office. They can help you apply for your benefits. You can contact the NYU Certifying Official at certifications@nyu.edu or by calling 212.998.4280.

How To Access Your Benefits

Step One: Apply with the VA

After you’ve been admitted to NYU, complete the paperwork through the VA.

  • Access your DD-214.  
  • Certificate of Eligibility Letter (COE) will be mailed, indicating the chapter and eligible benefit(s).
    • Chapter 31 veterans: your case manager will issue an e-authorization code to the NYU School Certifying Official, which permits the SCO to certify your enrollment with the VA
    • The VA Form 22-1905 is no longer used; students do not need to retrieve this form as part of their certification request.

Step Two: Register for Classes at NYU

You should plan to meet with your academic advisor to discuss registering for classes. You can then register for your classes through NYU Albert.

Step Three: Inform NYU of Your Benefit Eligibility

Upon receipt of your Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from VA, submit it to the Registrar by completing this form.  If you do not yet have a COE, attach a screenshot of your benefit information from the VA eBenefits website to the form, but you will still be required to send the COE  to the Registrar once you receive it. Please note:

  • To complete the form, you may need to log into NYU using your NetID/password.
  • Remember to redact your SSN on any attachment(s) and include your N#.


This form must be completed after registering for classes each term for our Certifying Official to certify your enrollment.
