    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Students receiving VA education benefits and are enrolled 
in two training institutions, must have the primary institution at 
which he or she is pursuing approved program of education verify that 
their courses pursued at a secondary school will be accepted as full 
credit towards their course objective. VA sends VA Form Letter 22-315 
to the student requesting that they have the certifying official of his 
or her primary institution list the course or courses pursued at the 
secondary school for which the primary institution will give full 
credit. Educational payment for courses pursued at a secondary school 
is not payable until VA receives evidence from the primary institution 
verifying that the student is pursuing his or her approved program 
while enrolled in these courses. VA Form Letter 22-315 serves as this 
certification of acceptance.
