NEC’s billing policy is compliant with the requirements of 38 USC 3679 (e). Any individual who is eligible for educational assistance under chapter 33, Post 9/11 GI Bill® will be permitted to participate in the educational program at NEC beginning on the date a certificate of eligibility or statement of benefits is provided to the College. NEC will not impose any penalty, including the assessment of late fees or denial of access to facilities, due to the delayed reimbursement of funding from the VA, provided that the certificate of eligibility or statement of benefits is submitted prior to the first day of classes for the enrollment period in question.
