Abstract: State Approving Agencies and VA use the catalogs to determine what courses can be approved for VA training. VA receives catalogs when institutions change their education programs, tuition and fees, and calendars, etc. In general, the catalogs are collected approximately twice a year. Without the catalogs, VA and SAAs cannot determine what courses could be approved.
