Attention Chapter 33 and 31 GI Bill Students Receiving BAH for Summer and Fall 2020:

Due to COVID-19 most courses have been switched to online learning to reduce the health risks to our community. To avoid being paid the National Average rate for online learning during the fall semester, chapter 33 and 31 students should be enroll in at least one 18-week course that was originally offered in-person before the pandemic. Doing this will ensure chapter 33 and 31 students receive the full BAH rate as before. Please email VRC@cerritos.edu for further questions.
