Office. (Please refer to the State of Jurisdiction Chart below for Buffalo RPO mailing address.)
YELLOW RIBBON RECIPIENTS - Enter the amount of Yellow Ribbon contributions your institution is making on behalf of the student for each
term, quarter, or semester. If the Yellow Ribbon Program will be used to cover all or a portion of any out of State charges, enter the net total out of State
charges assessed the student.
GUEST STUDENT - If certifying a guest student, place the name of the primary instution in Item 17, "Remarks".
VACATION PERIODS - For non-standard terms only, enter the begin and end date of a vacation period of 7 consecutive days or greater. The begin
