Roosevelt University recognizes the remarkable contributions made by veterans and of the armed forces, active duty and reserve, and their families and the challenges associated with transitioning into a civilian setting. Roosevelt honors your needs as a military-connected student with a dedicated Veteran & Military Center (VMC) and robust veteran programing. Our admissions team and VMC staff will assist you at every step during your Roosevelt application progress.
We are committed to assisting you as you navigate and utilize the benefits you deserve as a veteran or active service member. These include:
Consider the Office of Veteran & Military Services as your home base: we are the central point of contact for all veterans, military service members and dependents using VA education benefits. We also offer information about academic advising, financial aid counseling and student support services at throughout the University.
Veterans of all branches, active service members and dependents are encouraged to apply to Roosevelt, and they are welcome to take advantage of the many resources the university offers:
The Veterans Integration to Academic Leadership (VITAL) program is committed to aiding student veterans as they adjust to an academic setting, and the program will help you overcome any obstacles that might impede your educational goals and academic success. If you’re a Roosevelt student veteran, you can attend monthly office hours with VA VITAL right here on campus!
At the end of every Spring semester, our office hosts a cording ceremony and dinner for our graduating military-connected students and their families. This celebration honors and recognizes a student’s service and graduation with a red, white and blue honor cord.
Our newly renovated Veteran & Military Student Center (VMC) is in Room 280 of the Auditorium Building and open to all military-connected students. Take advantage of a computer with free printing, a fully stocked coffee and snack station, study tables and a TV.
