Summer and Fall 2025 advising worksheets are due by April 18. Advising worksheets are processed in the order they are received.
All documents are to be submitted to vmaforms@ua.edu from your student “crimson.ua.edu” email address.
Emails from outside the UA system will not be encrypted and therefore not accepted by the VMA Office.
This is the ONLY method in which documents will be accepted.
The items listed below are required to process your benefits. Failure to complete the items listed below will result in processing delays of VA payments.
Submit all documents simultaneously. The VMA Office will not accept individual documents.
