The Universidad Central del Caribe provides academic training to students under the various GI Bill® programs. Eligible students intending to enroll that receive VA educational benefits should apply through the Department of Veterans Affairs portal. The eligible students have the right to enjoy these benefits only for the period of time required for completing their academic degree as established in the UCC catalog and by applicable legislation and regulations.
The Registrar’s Office is responsible for certifying and keeping updated the academic load of all students who receive benefits from the Veterans Administration, through its online system. Students who are certified are those who receive benefits from:
- Chapter 30: Active Duty
- Chapter 31: Vocational Rehabilitation
- Chapter 33: Post 9-11/GI Bill®
- Chapter 35: Dependents of Veterans.
- Chapter 1606-1607: Reservists and National Guard

These beneficiaries must comply with all admissions requirements of the Universidad Central del Caribe. Once admitted to the institution, the student must present the letter of benefits (Certificate of Eligibility) issued by the Veterans Administration. The Registrar’s Office will be responsible, upon student matriculation, to complete the certification of enrolment in the Veterans Administration system on the Internet.
