What is the Role of the Veteran Coordinator/Certifying Official?
The certifying official, designated by a school or college, acts as that institution’s liaison with the SAA and VA. That individual is looked upon as the institution’s single point of contact. This person informs the SAA of any changes requiring approval. During site and oversight visits, the veteran coordinator/certifying official meets with the SAA staff. Additionally, this individual will submit all veterans certifications, applications, and modifications.
