Campus & Community Resources for Active Duty Military & Veterans
Military service—like graduate education—would not be possible without family and support. Explore the resources available from campus and community programs to help balance academic and professional workloads.
Campus Resources
Academic Advising
Most enrolled students are assigned a primary faculty advisor. Additional advising services are available through Academic Affairs. Academic Affairs advisors support students in a more general way, but they are also familiar with each program’s requirements in addition to the general education components of your curriculum.
