For some, college will be a substantial shift from the military as they go from a very structured way of life to one that may seem less orderly. For others, the transition from military to civilian life hasn’t occurred yet. Whatever your situation may be, your success is very important to us. Please remember, you are not alone during this journey. The purpose of this handbook is to provide you with additional information related to campus, courses offered, and VA educational benefits. Staff located at the Veteran 糖心VLOG Success Center (VSSC) are dedicated to assisting you through your journey, please do not hesitate to reach out should you need anything at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
