FAQs
Do I have to pay anything out of pocket if I’m a veteran using the GI Bill®?
In most cases, no — 99.2% of our veteran students graduate completely debt-free. Your GI Bill® benefits typically cover the full cost of tuition and fees, and our admissions and veteran support team will guide you step-by-step to ensure your benefits are applied correctly. At Lakewood University, you can focus on your education and future—not on student debt.
What if I’m not a veteran—can I still afford this?
Absolutely. Lakewood University was created to make quality education accessible for everyone—not just veterans.

How flexible is the program?
Our programs are designed for busy adults who need both structure and flexibility. While you’ll have weekly due dates to help you stay on track, you can choose when and where you study—day or night, weekdays or weekends. This balance gives you the freedom to learn at your own pace within each week, while still making steady progress toward your goals.
Can I really start any time?
Yes! At Lakewood University, you don’t have to wait for a traditional semester to begin—new classes start every Monday. That means you can start when you’re ready and begin working toward your goals right away. With weekly assignment deadlines to keep you on track, you’ll enjoy the perfect mix of flexibility and structure to help you succeed.
Do you offer career placement assistance?

You’ll receive one-on-one career guidance, including résumé and interview support, job search resources, and networking opportunities with employers. Plus, you’ll have lifetime access to our career services—so whether you’re launching a new career or advancing in your current one, we’re with you every step of the way.
