All transcripts from other colleges must be received prior to your appointment. The Department of Veterans Affairs mandates that students select a major. You can only receive payment for courses that are required according to your major. Please contact the ARC Counseling Center for an appointment at 916-484-8572.
7. Enroll & schedule a veterans' enrollment certification appointment: Do not schedule an appointment if you plan to drop or add classes. Classes on the waitlist cannot be certified. Changes to your schedule after initial certification can cause delays in payments or overpayments with the Department of Veterans Affairs. If you make changes to your schedule after certification, you must make another appointment. To schedule your veterans enrollment certification appointment call 916-484-8135.
