HOW TO “FINALIZE” YOUR REGISTRATION UPON APPROVAL FROM FHSU TO DO SO:

How to ensure receipt of your Chapter 33 or Chapter 30 Benefits if eligible:

1. Apply to use your benefits at FHSU on VA GI Bill benefits at https://www.va.gov/education/how-to-apply/.
2. Send your Certificate of Eligibility to Robyn Brungardt (FHSU’s VA Certifying Official) at rbrungar@fhsu.edu. She can also be reached at 785-628-4436.
3. 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.
4. Once your courses have been certified (you will receive a notification e-mail) then you should be able to ‘pay’ for your courses in TigerEnroll by selecting the “Financial Assistance” option. (Chapter 33) – 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 TigerTracks account.

FHSU uses TigerEnroll to finalize your enrollment (payment for classes).

To access your TigerEnroll account and pay for classes
Step 1:          Go to https://tigertracks.fhsu.edu
Step 2:          Click on “CAS Secure Login”  and enter your TigerNetID and password.
Step 3:         Select the “Online Services” tab
Step 4:          Select “TigerEnroll” (It is at the bottom right of the menu)
Step 5:        Click on the blue tab titled Enrollment/Payment and complete the steps for payment

In order to finalize with 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.

Please contact Tiger Tech if you need assistance when enrolling at 785-628-4235.
