Frequently Asked Questions
- If I make a change to my schedule, such as adding or dropping a class before the term
begins, how do I notify the LPC Veterans First Program?
A: Send an email to lpcveteransfirst@laspositascollege.edu with your adjustment information, such as what courses you dropped, and which courses you added. - What does it mean when the course is offered at Chabot College? Will LPC certify courses
that I register for at Chabot College?
A: No. The Veterans Specialist will send a Parent letter to Chabot College confirming that the course registered for at Chabot College is on your Educational Plan. The Veterans Center at Chabot College will certify your course as a “guest” student. - What if I made an error on my schedule, for example, entered the wrong start/end dates
for a course or entered the wrong units, will I need to re-submit info in CANVAS?
A: No. The Veterans Specialist will verify the data before it is submitted to the Dept of VA. If there are any discrepancies on the form, the Veterans Specialist will contact you before it is submitted to the Dept of VA. - If I need help completing the Form, will someone help me?
A: Yes, simply visit the Virtual First Welcome Center via Zoom. Information is available on the Veterans First website.
