Failure to provide this information will result in the loss of approval of the requested tuition assistance and the student will be required to pay the Military Department for charged tuition costs.   Subsequent tuition assistance requests will not be approved until the obligation to the Military Department has been discharged. In no case, will tuition assistance be paid by the Military Department for more hours than were originally approved for the term.
