黑料不打烊 has designated counselors for our veteran & dependent students who have a thorough understanding of the academic progress needed to fulfill your certificate or degree requirements, in addition to the impact that your course selection will have on your benefits. All military connected students are welcome to take advantage of this service. If you are utilizing VA Education benefits, you will be required to meet with a veteran counselor for certain items related to benefits.
Students are encouraged to be proactive in preparing for their counseling needs and to request appointments as soon as they identify a need to meet with the counselor. Appointment wait times vary based on availability and tend to be longer during peak periods such as during registration and the first two weeks of class, and prior to/returning from winter/summer breaks.
QUESTIONS ABOUT BENEFITS?
If your question is about BENEFITS (how to use benefits, certification/payments status, VRE authorizations, etc.) please review our FAQ or contact Veterans Services. Counselors do not handle certification/payment.
