General Information about Coastline's Veterans' Benefits
Coastline is approved by the Bureau of School Approvals, California State Department of Education, to offer programs to veterans and eligible persons seeking benefits under the Federal Public Laws and the California Veterans Educational Laws. Coastline follows the guidelines issued by the Council for Private and Post Secondary and Vocational Education which apply to all institutions enrolling veterans and other eligible persons for veterans benefits. If there are any questions regarding veteran benefits, check with the veterans technician in the Admissions office at (714) 241-6325.
Requirements for Receiving Veterans' Educational Benefits
- Every veteran or eligible dependent must contact the veterans clerk in the Admissions office in order to complete the appropriate required paperwork.
- It is mandatory that each veteran, veteran's dependent, or widow who has registered for veterans' educational benefits notify the veterans clerk when he or she adds or withdraws from classes.
- Veteran Administration regulations require each eligible person to have a specific academic goal, a plan of classes developed with a counselor, and to make satisfactory progress towards that goal. Failure to do so may result in termination of veteran educational benefits. Academic advisement is coordinated by the veterans clerk.
It will be the responsibility of the veteran or eligible dependent to adhere to the regulations of the Veterans Administration and Coastline policies. If there are any questions regarding veteran benefits, please call Rachel Cervantes at (714) 241-6325, Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.; Fridays 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. or Sergio Borja at (714) 241-6114, Monday - Thursday 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.; Fridays 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
