If the transcript has not been received prior to the end of the student’s second term here at Nova Southeastern University, the student cannot be certified for veteran’s benefits for the upcoming term. The student can be certified for veteran’s benefits after the transcript has been received. The school will evaluate the student’s previous training and/or experience and grant credit as appropriate.
