Veterans Benefits – Chapter 31 & Chapter 33

Peachtree City School of Massage proudly supports veterans by accepting education benefits under Chapter 31 (Veteran Readiness & Employment) and Chapter 33 (Post‑9/11 GI Bill®). Eligible students may attend classes while VA payments are pending, provided they submit the required documentation.

To begin using your benefits, you must:

Submit a Certificate of Eligibility (or Statement of Benefits or VAF 28‑1905 form)
Provide a written request to use your VA benefits
Submit any additional documentation required by our School Certifying Official (SCO)

PTCSOM ensures that no penalties are imposed due to delays in VA payment. This means:

No late fees will be charged
No denial of access to classes or school resources
No requirement to borrow additional funds

Students are allowed to attend for up to 90 days after certification or until VA payment is received—whichever comes first.

Please note: any remaining tuition balance not covered by VA benefits must be paid by the standard payment deadline. Late balances may incur additional fees.

Attendance

100% attendance is expected. Attendance will be taken at the beginning of each class and following any breaks. 3 late arrivals or 3 early departures will be considered an absence. To maintain eligibility for GI Bill® benefits students must attend 80% of all scheduled classes as established by the Georgia State Approving Agency Veterans Attendance Policy. In any absence the student needs to approach the instructor for any work or time that needs to be made up. Attendance is graded as an employment skill; therefore absences are counted against the grading scale.

Lack of attendance can lead to early dismissal of the program.

Academics

Attendance and academic work will be monitored on a weekly basis. If a student falls below either criterion listed above, they will be placed on probation. The probation period will last for 30 days. A student who is on probation who fails to meet satisfactory academic progress standards and/or attendance will have GI Bill® education benefits terminated. If after 60 days a student who has not returned to good class standing may be subject to termination from the program.

Leave of Absence Policy

Any student who begins a period of leave of absence will be terminated from GI Bill® education benefits effective the date the leave of absence begins. Students who take a period of leave of absence will be allowed to restart the program of study at the point in which instruction was interrupted. Credit will be granted for any previous coursework completed. Students will be recertified for GI Bill® education benefits after returning to classes. Should a second period of leave of absence occur students will be terminated from the veteran education benefits and the education benefits will not be reinstated upon return to school unless the period of leave of absence was due to mitigating circumstances as determined by the School Director.
