Military & veteran students
A plan built before you enroll, reviewed as you go
Educational plans will be developed and reviewed by our military service members and veteran students, and by the student’s academic adviser. The initial educational plan provided prior to enrollment will detail how the student will fulfill all of the requirements to graduate from the educational program, as well as the expected timeline of program completion. Additionally, students are able to track their academic progress and degree requirements within their student portal.
The student is responsible for keeping appointments with his/her academic adviser to review important academic plan information.
Please be cognizant of the length of time it is expected for you to complete the program as well as the remaining number of months you may be eligible to receive military education benefits. You may need to adjust the number of hours you schedule each term or period to assure maximization of your education benefits.
