Where does this Q&A appear on VA.gov?
Should I verify my enrollment if WAVE has the wrong course credits?
Yes. If WAVE is showing the wrong number of course credits, you should still verify your enrollment. Then you’ll need to contact your School Certifying Official (SCO) and ask them to correct the number of credits in your VA record.
If you receive education benefit payments for more credits than you’re actually taking, you’ll need to pay us back.

Note: Schools don’t need to report credit hours that are more than what we consider to be “full time.” So if we consider 12 credit hours to be full time at a certain school and you’re taking 15 credits there, the school may only report 12. This won’t affect your payment rate.
