Services for Veteran Students

GI Bill Benefits

  • The Veterans' Services office certifies and submits student enrollments to the Veteran Administration (VA) using the online VA data entry system, VA ONCE. Once submitted, the VA processes the educational benefits and issues payment to the veteran. To avoid any over payments or interruption in benefits the following tips are recommended:
    • Always seek academic advising prior to registering for courses.
    • Upon registration, submit a copy of your student detail bill to the Veterans' Services office.
    • Avoid reducing credit hours once the semester has begun.
    • Always consult Veterans' Services Staff prior to reducing credit hours.
    • Report any schedule changes including; adds, drops, withdraws, etc. to the Veterans' Services office immediately.

Counseling, Advising & Referrals

  • Veteran can schedule career counseling and advising appointments with the Director of Veterans' Services. The office works closely with faculty advisors and academic counselors to assist students in developing their educational and career plans.
