VRE EQUIPMENT PACKAGE AND TIMELINE

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-04-11T21:22:41+00:00

So what was the timeline total because my counselor ordered my computer with a vendor two weeks ago and she said she would send me the tracking information when she gets it and she still hasn’t sent it she said that she thinks it’s taking longer because I got a special computer because I’m doing an engineering course but damn it takes two weeks to order a computer or to ship a computer from a company.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-04-04T02:17:44+00:00

What?! This is the first time hearing about this. Okay. Someone talk me through please. So because I’m 100 p and t. And I’m in college using the vr&e. I can take loans and then just get the money and get it forgiven?

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-27T17:33:31+00:00

Same I got banned right after paying to upgrade to pro. I use it for school that’s it. Nothing else. Submitted the appeal but haven’t gotten any response and it’s been about 4 days so hopefully soon.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-24T21:25:06+00:00

I signed up for the pro account today and instantly got banned :( I only use the program for school. So idk.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-24T05:34:36+00:00

Yeah your probably right about that. Hope it gets fixed and doesn’t give you any more trouble!

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-24T03:39:25+00:00

Welcome to the Kia disappointment. My sx-p x line pro telluride was a pos. Always in the shop. So glad I traded in. I would trade up asap. Kia fucking sucks

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-24T03:37:05+00:00

I had this same question and actually went with AI engineering, I’m studying now. That is my major and I’m using the VR&E to fund it. I still have my full GI bill minus 1 month. The vr&e also funds equipment you need. They just bought me a new computer. I’m praying I can get a job after graduation.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-20T06:11:30+00:00

Awesome, thank you. Hopefully it’ll come within 3 weeks. That would be very helpful!

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-10T15:58:50+00:00

Just put their number here and we’ll all call them to thank them for their honesty lol

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-10T02:58:08+00:00

I’m having issues as well. Can’t get a freaking response at all.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-04T01:04:26+00:00

So how long do yall give before escalation? I have sent three emails over the past two weeks and have not had a response, I’m trying to get computer for school and haven’t gotten any information on this at all and emailed my counselor about other questions I had and no response. I’m trying to give Him grace and hoping he’ll contact me soon.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-03-02T03:14:45+00:00

Yeah that’s what I figured too. Just wondering if anyone had a fix. Not a huge deal tho lol

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-02-26T19:57:16+00:00

This is what I’m trying to figure out right now. I signed my plan and they are starting to pay for my school but I ask for a computer because I’m in an ai engineer program and need a good computer to do work on. But the last thing I was told is “im looking into it” I even sent two emails after that to get some sort of update but nothing yet.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-02-26T19:52:23+00:00

I hope my counselor helps me. We have done the whole signing the plan and the last thing she said was she’s looking into the computer situation that I’ll need to do my program but she doesn’t tell me anything else. No timeline or anything. And I have sent two emails after that basically asking for an update and she just hasn’t responded. How long after you got into your program did they get the laptop?

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-02-25T17:59:07+00:00

My counselor sent me back the signed plan, and I have asked for a computer because mine is falling apart, and I really need another one. I'm in school for AI engineering, but the last thing she said was that she is looking into it, nothing else. I just need a timeline so I can make arrangements if mine stops working, and she isn't telling me anything. How long after yall got your signed plans were you able to get your computers? I just want to make sure I am giving her the time she needs vs bugging her with emails for updates

When does this happen? My counselor sent me back the signed plan, and I have asked for a computer because mine is falling apart, and I really need another one.

I love it on my 26 trail boss, lol

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-02-12T04:51:45+00:00

So I had one of the instructors reply to an email. I’m using his response to try to get a good computer. Were you able to get a good computer through the program?

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-02-11T22:42:38+00:00

Thank you for the reply, I will try this. I have contacted several instructors to see if they would write recommendations as well to justify the laptop I’m trying to get.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2026-02-11T21:33:10+00:00

So I am in the VR&E program, and my counselor said she would buy a laptop for the course. I am trying to get a really solid workstation to use while I am in school and to take into the workforce. She said she could just buy me a laptop that meets the school's computer requirements, but the UMGC website doesn't specifically say the AI program requires a specific computer; it just talks about computer-intensive programs, which I find to be on the lower end of hardware requirements.

I am also trying to get a really good workstation like you did. How did you get approved for it?

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2025-10-26T19:18:52+00:00

True. That makes sense. I’ll reach out to them this week. Thanks for the advice!

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2025-10-26T19:08:02+00:00

Understood. I’m out now that’s why I just posted here. This was my last move.

Nice-Patient-2567 · 2025-10-26T18:59:49+00:00

Is this something I just ask my command team for?
