Yellow Ribbon Program
The Yellow Ribbon Program is an agreement between the VA and participating institutions to cover all or a portion of tuition and fees charged after a student has exceeded the maximum benefit rate.

- The student must have a remaining balance on their student account.
Once the Admissions Specialist has verified that the two conditions have been met, and the student has enrolled at Lakewood University, the qualifying student will be awarded the grant on a first come-first-served basis.

Employer Tuition Reimbursement
Distance education is a convenient and affordable corporate training resource for employers. Your company’s Human Resources Department will have information about their tuition reimbursement benefits and how to apply.
Past Due Payment Obligations - Self-Pay Students
Students who pay for their education themselves are required to make timely payments. Those students who default on their tuition payments and enter “past due” status will have their account sent to a third-party collections service after one hundred twenty days (120 days). The student’s account will be considered inactive, and they will not be permitted to continue their coursework until their account is brought current or paid in full.
Please note that this policy only applies to students who pay tuition costs directly, not via any third-party funder or entity.
Accommodations for Military Students
Military students may find it difficult because of military-related commitments to follow the above Attendance and Participation policies verbatim. When military commitments, such as exercises, deployments or permanent change of station orders cause difficulties in following these policies, as a military-friendly school, Lakewood University is committed to minimizing administrative issues and helping students navigate academic policies that might impede completion of a course or program when the military commitment causing the difficulty is ended. However, when such military situations arise, students are expected to communicate with the University as soon as possible through their course faculty member or student success coach. Depending on the situation, military documentation may be required to validate requests requiring significant deviation from normal policy. Timely communication with the University in some cases may eliminate or minimize financial obligations such as TA repayment of failed courses.
