Veteran Affairs

The Rio Grande College Certification office is located at the Del Rio Office of Admissions and Records. Rio Grande College's Veteran Affairs is not a division of the United State Department of Veteran Affairs. The office serves as a liaison between the VA and those students of RGC participating in a VA educational program. There is no official VA representative on campus. 

The Office of Admissions and Records assists with the processing of VA forms required for educational benefits. The contact person is Mayra Rodriguez, who certifies student enrollment to the VA.

A student's entitlement is based upon the number of credit hours for which that student is enrolled. Therefore, the veteran's enrollment status and academic progress is closely monitored by the VA.

Veterans Assistance

If the VA finds a problem, the Veteran Affairs Regional Office will report the problem in writing, both to the student and to the Veteran's Certification office at RGC. It is the responsibility of the student to report any letter that is sent to them by the VARO.

The RGC Veteran's Certification officer will be glad to assist you and answer any question that she can. In order to assist each student with their VA certification, we need the student to ensure they fulfill their responsibilities under the VA program.
