and the student permit will be exchanged for a medical permit.

education, experience and training (civilian and military) before certifying
their third enrollment period. Also, as required, Fullerton College grants
the appropriate credit, shortening their training period proportionately, and
notifies the DVA, and these students, the amount of credit allowed towards
their declared program.
Unless otherwise notified, all programs (majors) in this catalog are approved
for the training of VA students. Transfer programs are approved contingent
upon Fullerton College having current articulation agreements with the universities
offering the transfer programs. Contact the Cadena/Transfer Center for Fullerton
College’s approved transfer programs.
VA students cannot be certified if their cumulative grade point average (overall
GPA) remains below 2.00 for two successive certified enrollment periods. Once
their overall GPA is 2.00 or above, their subsequent enrollment periods can
then be certified.
