Once built, one call from your code
Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get the weekly certification report” would look like.

Enrollment Manager’s own options
VA's Enrollment Manager System Guide describes no API or file upload for School Certifying Officials. Enrollments, amendments and terminations are entered student by student in the browser, with Add multiple enrollments for several IHL periods. The Reports tab exports one week of submitted certifications as CSV or PDF.
| Option | What it covers | What it takes |
|---|---|---|
| Reports tab: Export Reports | A Summary or Detail report of certifications submitted in a seven-day window, for the facilities you select, as a CSV file. | Access to Enrollment Manager. All users can export or print reports. |
| Reports tab: Print Reports | The same report as a PDF, printed one page of results at a time. | Access to Enrollment Manager. Repeat on each page of results to get them all. |
| Enrollment Manager by hand | The Dashboard, Students, Schools and Reports tabs, and each student's Enrollments, Programs, Benefits, Notes and History tabs. | An SCO, SCO Assistant or SCO Read Only role, signed in through the VA Education Platform with ID.me or Login.gov. |

Signing in to Enrollment Manager
SCOs, SCO Assistants and SCO Read Only users sign in to the VA Education Platform at iam.education.va.gov with Single Sign On - External, using an ID.me or Login.gov account, then select Open Enrollment Manager. With Fous you sign in once through that same sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256, never returned by the API or written to logs.
Worth knowing
- Sessions end after 15 minutes idle
- Enrollment Manager times out after 15 minutes of inactivity, to align with VA's security requirements, and warns 2 minutes before.
- A report covers exactly seven days
- The Begin date on the Reports tab is the date certifications were submitted, and the End date is fixed at seven days later. Longer periods take one report per week.
- Chapter 33 tuition is certified twice
- For Chapter 33 at IHL and NCD schools, VA asks for an initial certification with $0 tuition and fees, then an amendment with the actual amount after drop/add, even when nothing changed.
- Status can lag behind processing
- Under VA Review can stay after a claim is processed for Flight, OJT/APP, CH 1606, 35, 31, VRRAP and non-automated CH 30 claims, so that status alone does not mean VA is still working on it.

Frequently asked questions
Not one that VA documents for School Certifying Officials. The Enrollment Manager System Guide describes the browser screens and a Reports tab that exports a week of submitted certifications as CSV or PDF. With Fous you can build methods on your own account that return those screens as JSON.
Use the Reports tab. Select the facilities, enter a Begin date, choose Summary or Detail and select Generate report, then Export Reports for a CSV file or Print Reports for a PDF. The report covers the seven days from the Begin date.
For Chapter 33, from 180 days before the term starts. For Chapters 30, 32, 35 and 1606, from 120 days before. VA asks for it no later than 30 days after the term starts, and you still submit it if that date has passed.
For Chapter 33, yes: more than one amendment on a single certification can be processed within a 15-minute period. For other chapters, the guide says to keep submitting successive adjustments on separate days.
No. Fous is an independent product. You use it with your own Enrollment Manager access, and a method reads and does only what your SCO role allows.
