GI-Bill and failing?
Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I tried looking everywhere online and can't seem to find the answer.
I am currently recieving the Post 9-11 GI Bill. I am taking a very difficulty statistics class that I fear I will end up failing. I refuse to withdrawl from the class because A.) I plan to take this course again if I fail and would like to absorb as much info as I can and B.) I know a withdrawl or drop will have to be repayed. But, what about actually attending all the classes, taking all the tests and still failing? I looked into tutors, there's none at my school for this class or anywhere nearby. So, does a fail mean I have to repay my beneifts? I haven't cashed or spent any of the money given to me because I am afraid to owe any money that I won't have later. This GI bill just seems to good to be true. In less than 3 months I have recieved almost $8,000 for school.

" I don't know anything about the GI bill but I know statistics blows minkey tube.

I had to take some in regards to quality training when I was in manufacturing and I swear you have to be substantially off-center to be good in statistics. "

" "So, does a fail mean I have to repay my beneifts?"

That would have been explained in the loan approval document, I am sure. Best to ask these questions of the Department of Veterans Affairs at:
