UMSL Student Veterans' First Stop

The UMSL Veterans Center aims to be the first stop resource for services including admissions support, GI Bill advising and certification, academic support, and networking opportunities with local military-friendly employers. From the initial transition into college, throughout students’ time on campus and even during the transition into the workplace, UMSL is dedicated to ensuring military-connected students have access to the resources they need.

The Veterans Center is not just another office. The 1,100 sq. ft. student lounge within the center has a never-empty coffee pot, comfortable chairs and tables, TV's and computers. Student veterans can study, relax, socialize with other veterans, or just drop in for a free cup of coffee. The Veterans Center is home base to gather socially or study - it is an indispensable resource for UMSL student veterans.

Why do Vets Choose UMSL?

  • The UMSL Veterans Center was established as the region’s first fully-staffed veterans support center.
  • The UMSL Veterans Center is every military-connected students' first stop resource for admissions support, GI Bill advising and certification, academic support, and networking opportunities with local military-friendly employers.
  • Military-connected students using Veterans Affairs (GI Bill) or Department of Defense benefits can register for classes on day one. This ensures they can get enrolled in the classes they need to keep on track to graduate on time.
  • UMSL has a very robust credit transfer policy for military educational experiences.
  • UMSL is a leader in the Veteran Studies academic movement. It offers courses that challenge students to think more clearly about how veterans fit into society and what obligations, if any, a society holds toward its veteran community.
