Welcome to the University of Wisconsin 欧克莱尔. Transitioning from the military to campus life can be challenging. We are 在这里 to ensure your transition to campus is a smooth one. 澳门葡京网赌送彩金 has one of the largest and fastest growing populations of veterans in the state and we stand ready to assist you.

One of the challenges you face as a veteran is paying for your college education.  If you plan on using either state or federal veterans education benefits to pay for school, we advise you to follow the steps below and schedule a meeting with us at veterans@wikiwagsdisposables.com

Step 1: Research your benefits

The university does NOT evaluate your service record to determine your benefits eligibility; that is the role of a VA.  However, if you have a question regarding education benefits please do not hesitate to contact us at veterans@wikiwagsdisposables.com

• Federal Education Benefits
• State Education Benefits

Step 2: 应用 for admission to 澳门葡京网赌送彩金

• Office of Undergraduate 招生
• Office of 研究生学习

The goal of the university is to recognize your efforts in uniform and translate those accomplishments to academic credit. By providing your Joint Service Transcript, Community College of the Air Force transcript or DD214 招生 will review military transcripts utilizing American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations to determine if additional transfer credits can be awarded.  Military automatically grants 1 credit of physical activity credit and waives the 30-hour service learning requirement.  提交 the above mentioned items to 招生 for review and possible awarding of additional academic credit for military training.

To request an official military transcript, simply log on to the Joint Service Transcript page.

Step 3: 应用 for benefits

联邦福利:

• If using benefits for the first time, complete the Application for Education Benefits - 从22年到1990年
• If Federal Education Benefits have been used before, complete the Request for 更改课程 or 培训地点 - 1995年VA表格

 These forms can be completed online at: www.va.政府

国家福利:

• If applying for the WI GI Bill for the first time, complete the appropriate forms in the WDVA B0105.
• If the WI GI Bill has been used before, complete only the WDVA 2029 发现于 WDVA B0105.

Step 4: 提交 proper documentation to 经验丰富的 Services Office (Blugold Central, Old 图书馆 1108)

Once you have received approval for veteran education benefits, you simply need to bring the following documentation to Blugold Central 为验证. The university will then notify the VA of your status as an enrolled student.

*Students who depend on these benefits to meet their living expenses should bring enough money to cover expenses for at least eight weeks while the first benefit check is processed. 

** It is the students' responsibility to alert the VRC of any changes in credit status throughout the term.
