Veterans Standard of Progress
All veterans must continue to make satisfactory progress in their program. As required by the Veterans Administration Regulations, Moraine Park Technical College will report unsatisfactory progress in accordance with the information under Academic Standards listed in the Moraine Park Technical College's catalog.
Advanced Standing
Students receiving or planning to receive Financial Aid or Veterans benefits are required to have any prior education or training reviewed for advanced standing. These credits must be reviewed regardless if the fees for these courses were paid by the student or were funded by Financial Aid, Veterans or any other funding agency. The responsibility for evidence of credits received from other institution rests upon the student. These credits are reviewed as stated in the Moraine Park Procedure #1TIO0101 Advanced Standing.
A veteran may be certified only for courses and electives required for their specific program.
It is the responsibility of the student receiving veteran educational benefits to notify the Veterans' Certifying Official in the Financial Aid Office of enrollment, changes in enrollment and withdrawal.
