As of January 2022, all students using CH33 benefits MUST verify their enrollment
each month to VA to continue receiving payments. Download the instructions and further information.
ATTENTION! Enrollment verification texts are generally sent from the VA on the last
day of the month. MHA/stipend funds are not likely to be received until the first
part of the following month.
Pikes Peak State College has confirmed with the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense that a placement test is required in order to justify taking a developmental course (college prep math or English course). No other form of justification is acceptable. VA and TA will not pay for these courses without a placement test score on file. What does this mean for you?
You must take EdReady or the Accuplacer test to determine if you need to take a college prep course for math or English. For your next steps, visit the Testing Center's placement test site.
An EdReady score below 90 can be used to justify your enrollment in a college prep
course. Be sure to forward your results to the Testing Center!
