I'm a recently separated veteran (<1 year from discharge) who is in UT awaiting the next cohort to apply to. I have plans to go to PA or NH. I had questions about the VEEP to local transition.
On the application for VEEP, it asks for me to rank 1-3 which locals I want to go to. If the local accepts to take me in through the veep program, does that mean I'm guaranteed entry into the local apprenticeship?
I signed up for summer classes and I am taking a 3 credit online course for the 1st block (7 weeks) and a 3 credit class in person for 14 weeks. I am signed up for a 3 credit online class for the second block. So every block, I am technically at 6 credits. Does this mean I get full MHA?

I am a recently separated veteran that just went through my first semester this spring using the GI bill. I took 14 credits and I got an unofficial withdrawal from a 4 credit class. I was able to barely pass my other classes. This is my first withdrawal.
Long story short, my dad passed away in late January it really affected me hard. The 4 credit class I got an unofficial withdrawal from was because I stopped attending classes for the last 1/4 of the semester because it was an incredibly difficult class to keep up with and I was on the verge of failing. My mental health was not in the right place for the amount of studying for that class and I simply got anxiety showing up for that class and having to do a quiz or exam every week. I contemplated showing back up again after missing 2 days of class, but then everything just fell apart.
I am in the process of getting the required documentation to submit an academic petition to the school for mitigating circumstances. I am just worried about how much I will have to pay back in tuition and MHA. The total tuition for 14 credits was $2900 and my MHA payments were about $1600-2100 a month.
What else besides an academic petition should I be doing to see if I can get a lower prorated debt amount or waiver? Do I have to submit anything to the VA? Nothing has populated on my schools billing page and I have not gotten any debt letter from the VA yet. What must I also do?
I know this sounds like a piece of shit attempt for a get out of jail card, but I can't tack on more debt right now.
