If your WAVE record does not reflect your current enrollment status, it is most likely because we have not yet processed your current enrollment paperwork. This could be because we have not received the paperwork from your school or because we have not had enough time to process it. VA is often overwhelmed with enrollments at the start of each semester and it takes us several weeks to process everyone's enrollments and changes. We appreciate your patience, as we will process everyone's enrollment in the order that it was received.

Reminder: Post-9/11 GI Bill recipients are currently not able to see any enrollment information in WAVE.

What can you do? First, check with your School Certifying Official to make sure your enrollment information was submitted. Then, ask him or her if it has been a reasonable time for VA to have processed it (the school officials should know about how long it is taking VA to process enrollment paperwork). If a reasonable amount of time has passed since the school sent the paperwork to VA, please contact us for details using the Ask a Question feature on the web site (in the Questions and Answers section) or by calling 1-888-GIBILL-1 (1-888-442-4551).
