Chapter 33, Monthly Housing Allowance (BAH)
If you plan to take distance learning classes during the summer, remember, for each summer session you attend you must have at least one class taught in a classroom.
Undergraduates
During a 3-week summer session, you need to be enrolled in at least 2 credits to receive 100% BAH for the three weeks. You will receive NO BAH if enrolled in 1 credit.
During a 5-week summer session, if you are enrolled in at least 4 credits, you will receive 100% BAH for the five weeks. If you are enrolled in only 3 credits, you will receive 80% BAH for the five weeks. Less than 3 credits will earn NO BAH.
Graduates
During a 3-week summer session, you need to be enrolled in at least 1 credit to receive 100% BAH for the three weeks.
During a 5-week summer session, if you are enrolled in at least 3 credits you will receive 100% BAH for the five weeks. If you are enrolled in less than 3 credits you will receive NO BAH.
IMPORTANT TO ALL CHAPTERS
The VA looks at each period of time and pays accordingly. This is different than the full-time rules for summer financial aid. If you take 2 credits in summer 1, 3 credits in summer 2 and 4 credits in summer 3, the VA will pay as follows: Summer 1- 3-wks at full time, Summer 2- 5-wks at ¾ time (or 80% for Ch. 33) and Summer 3- 5-wks at full-time. If you do not take a class during a session, you will not receive pay for that time period.
These rules only apply to standard UNLV summer sessions. If you are taking a class that is not 3 weeks (during summer 1) or 5 weeks long, you will need to contact the office and we will be able to figure out whether you will be full-time or ¾ time.
