Veterans

 

Welcome to FCC Veteran and Military Services (VMS).  We are excited to work with you as you pursue your educational and career goals. 
 

Getting Started

  • All new students are required to submit the electronic VMS intake form prior to scheduling an appointment. Once you submit the intake form, we will email you a checklist of “next steps” to complete along with the link to schedule an intake appointment with a VMS staff member.
     
    • If you have already applied for a VA Educational Benefit and have a Certificate of Eligibility or a Vocational Rehab form 1905, please bring it to your Intake Appointment.
    • Please bring a copy of your DD214 (Service 2 or Member 4).

  • All veterans planning to use VA Educational Benefits must have their official military transcripts and any prior college transcripts submitted to the Records and Registration Center for evaluation of transferrable credit. FCC will accept up to 45 credits in military and other transfer credits toward an FCC program of study. Official military transcript requests may be made via the following links:
     

  • Attend the Veteran and Military Services Orientation program for new students. (Details will be provided at your intake appointment.)

 

Paying for College

As student veteran, you may have several options to consider for financing your education. The VMS staff will discuss the various options with you during your appointment.  

 

Priority Registration

Veterans may be eligible for Priority Registration. Those eligible for Priority Registration include Active duty, Reservists, and National Guard members and veterans who have received an honorable discharge or a certificate of satisfactory completion of military service (eligibility applies only within 15 years after last active duty date). To participate in Priority Registration, students must provide documentation of their service. Veterans may provide a copy of their DD214 showing an honorable discharge or a certificate of satisfactory completion.
