Veterans who wish to use the Hazlewood exemption must complete an application. Go to https://hazlewood.tvc.texas.gov/students/Account/Register and screenshot your available hours used for Hazlewood and attach to your eForm application. Applications are available in eForms (Etrieve) by logging in with your student ID number. Contact the Hazlewood office at chazlewood@ctcd.edu. In addition to the completed application, the veteran must furnish a copy of their DD 214 (discharge document showing entry into service from the state of Texas and a letter from the VA Regional Office, Muskogee, OK, stating that the veteran is no longer eligible for VA educational benefits). Dependents must show proof of relationship to the veteran. Upon receipt of these documents the Texas veteran or dependent will be notified if he or she is qualified for Hazlewood Educational Benefits. If a continuing or transfer student, student must meet the grade point average (GPA) requirement of the college’s Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy in a degree or certificate program as determined by Central Texas College’s financial aid policy.
Students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) during each semester of enrollment as well as a cumulative average of 2.0 to remain eligible for aid. Should the student's GPA drop below a cumulative average of 2.0 the following actions will be taken:
- The first time the GPA drops below 2.0 the student will be placed on financial aid warning for the following semester enrolled.
- At the end of the warning semester, if the student's GPA is 2.0 or above, the student will be removed from warning status and returned to satisfactory. If after one semester the GPA is still below a cumulative average of 2.0, the student will be placed on suspension and will not be eligible for financial aid until the student's GPA meets the 2.0 standard or has an approved "Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal" form on file. Students can access the form in Etrieve.
