Resources for Veteran Students

In the Classroom

  • From recruitment to graduation, your Veteran Success Advisor is with you to make sure that you are taken care of. If there is an issue with your benefits, a need to change a class, or just a general question, your Veteran Success Advisor is here to help. When it comes to course registration, we understand that you have responsibilities outside of school. For student veterans classified as a "special population", you are able to register early to ensure that you are able to get into the classes that you need.

  • Resumé assistance, interview preparation, and assistance in translating military experience in preparation for a civilian job search. Access to on campus career fairs and recruiting events throughout the year.
