Western offers a variety of services to support you on the path to your degree. Whether you are a veteran, active service member, a survivor or dependent of a deceased or disabled veteran, we have resources to help you succeed.

We are honored to provide veterans and/or service members with priority enrollment one day ahead of others of the same enrollment status.

For benefits to be processed, every student using VA benefits must complete the Certification Request Survey every term.
