Veteran and Military Affairs

The McCord-Herbst Student Veteran Center is open to all military-affiliated students! We are located in Gateway Hall, behind Parking and Transportation. We have coffee, tea, soda and snacks, study areas, computers, and a lounge area where you can watch TV or just hang out with other students. Ask us about our free textbook loan program, our Student Veteran Organization, and how to utilize your VA Education Benefits.

Did you know that 1 in 5 students at UCCS are military-affiliated? It's true! 20% of UCCS students are Veterans, Active Duty, National Guard, Reservists, and their family members! We are proud to serve you!
