You can notify VA (Education Service) through the mail (VA Regional Processing Office contact information) or through the Internet Inquiry System.
Due to changes with the Harry W. Colmery Veterans Educational Assistance Act (Forever GI Bill®), Walden will begin certifying courses for Fall Quarter and Semester after August 1, 2018.

OneDrive is the Office 365 equivalent of Google Drive or Dropbox. You can store all kinds of files on OneDrive, making them accessible anywhere you have an internet connection. You can also share your files with others (staff, faculty, students, anybody), and collaborate on documents together. Your best option is to keep your files in OneDrive. This way, your files are always backed up and you never have to worry about it. You can also access your files anywhere, so if you have an emergency you can get to your files.
You can set OneDrive as a location in Windows Explorer. Then it will always be an available as a save location for any program. You can even set OneDrive as the default save location for Word, PPT, Excel, and other programs. If you save your files to OneDrive, you never have to think about backups. Yay!
OneDrive should already be installed on your computer. Verify this by checking Windows Explorer for the OneDrive icon.
Once OneDrive is on your computer, you can sync it with Windows Explorer. This way OneDrive is available as a save location for all your computer programs. OneDrive also syncs the files on your computer and the cloud, so your files are available on your computer (if you don't have internet) and in the cloud for backup.
Before you sync OneDrive to your computer, create a dedicated Computer Sync folder in OneDrive.
By default, everything in OneDrive syncs to your computer. There is much more storage space in OneDrive than on your computer. If you have a lot of files in OneDrive, you can quickly fill up your computer storage. This will make your computer slow and cause other problems. I highly recommend you create a dedicated folder in OneDrive to sync to your computer. You can have as many sub-folders in your sync folder as you'd like, and treat it just as you would MyDocuments.
To change the sync folder, right-click OneDrive-Walden University, LLC and select Choose OneDrive folders to sync.
The green checkmark indicates OneDrive and the computer are synced.
