There are times when the VA overpays the student for benefits.  Possible reasons for overpayment are:

1. Registering for courses the do not apply towards the student's HCC degree.
2. Student is reported for non-attendance ("WN") by his/her instructor.
3. Student withdraws ("W") from class(es).
4. Repeating a course that has received a passing grade.
5. Auditing a course that student expects to be certified.
6. Receiving an incomplete grade ("I").
7. Receiving a not reported grade ("N").
8. Receiving a no credit grade ("N").  Can only be forgiven for Prep courses.
9. If electives are transferred in upon receipt of your prior credit(s), these electives will always be used first toward your degree.  If you are planning on taking elective course(s), be sure not to go over the maximum number of credits allowed for your specific degree in the catalog you are following.
10. "FX" - Failure - Stopped attending.  Note: FX means stopped attending and will be treated like an "F" grade.  The last date of attendance must be recorded whenever an FX is awarded for submission to the VA.  The VA  will then determine whether payment is awarded or not.  Note: The College will automatically notify the VA of any change in a veteran student's enrollment, which affects the rate of benefits.
