Each semester you will need to fill out the Veteran’s Class Schedule after your advisor approves your courses at https://webapps.fhsu.edu/ClassScheduleForVeteransBenefits/so that Robyn can certify your courses. Your VA file number is your SSN.

Once your courses have been certified (you will receive a notification e-mail) then you should be able to pay for your courses in ‘Workday’ by selecting the “Financial Assistance” option. (Chapter 33 & 31) – You do not actually pay any monies for these courses unless you have less than 100% eligibility for these benefits and have been so notified by the VA and in your individual Workday account. Workday Student Resources – Fort Hays State University (FHSU)

In order to finalize your VA benefits, you will need to select the ‘Financial Aid’ payment option. The amount of your GI Bill benefits will be indicated when choosing this option. If your eligibility is less than 100% the balance will be indicated and is due when finalizing your enrollment.
