Veteran Success Centers
Your one-stop-shop for transitioning to NAU
NAU’s Veteran Success Center (VSC) welcomes hundreds of students each year and assists with a wide range of support services. The center is a place for military-affiliated students to connect with each other. This includes all those who have served or are currently serving in the United States Armed Forces as well as dependents utilizing VA educational benefits transferred from their parent or spouse. We serve military-connected students from community campuses all around the state of Arizona and online students.
Our staff provides direct service and referrals to a number of campus and community resources focused on transitioning to NAU, retention efforts, academic success initiatives, career development, and care related to mental and physical well-being. You have succeeded in your military life, and we have your back as you transition to higher education.
