What it does for military students
VA records none of the usual commitments for this school — no in-state tuition guarantee for veterans, no stated policy on credit for military training, and no participation in the voluntary programs most veteran-experienced schools join. That doesn’t mean the support isn’t there, but it does mean you should ask directly rather than assume.
