That's the rub. You have to be enrolled as a full time student to get the FULL housing allowance. With gen ed courses knocked out, and the VA not covering courses outside degree paths, this would reduce my course load to less than 12 credits a semester. At most, I'd be 75% rate and some semesters only 50%. Being AT 50% means no BAH. 51% and above is the only way to qualify for the housing stipend.
I'll have the courses paid for in full, but the housing allowance would fluctuate each semester. That school out in AZ though looks to only use 1 gen ed class a semester. That's a huge benefit over some of the other programs I've looked at. If I could keep each semester at 75% I think I could make that work easily.
