Posted on Dec 23, 2009.
It’s that time again: another semester approaches! While many online education programs are not semester based, schools that operate with both campus and online programs often keep them separated semester-by-semester, so this could potentially be a monumental time for the distance learner.

Stories from military personnel like the Army of Dude are not at all uncommon and active duty, reserve, and veterans alike scramble to find some kind of sanity in the middle of the financial aid delirium. First semesters for programs usually have hiccups in them, and once these issues are ironed out, the new GI Bill will have a long-term positive result on higher education.
Some of the long-term positive effects include: more military members in high-level, corporate jobs; increased enrollment and diversity in military-friendly online schools, like American Sentinel University; and more military recruitment and retention as prospective students and families continue to pursue financial benefits from military service.
