Admission Process for Veterans
Active duty military and veterans follow much of the same application process as non-military students -application, transcripts, FAFSA, scholarships and registration. After you complete our military-connected student admission checklist on this page, you will be set to start classes.
Your first step is to apply. Use the appropriate link corresponding to the degree you are seeking.
To apply by email, make a request by emailing scsu4u@stcloudstate.edu.
Request your official transcripts for previous college level coursework, including military training. Our registrar will evaluate it for transfer credit. To request your military transcript (Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard) visit Joint Services Transcript.
Even if your education will be funded by education benefits from military service, we advise exploring additional financial aid through FAFSA.
If you are a military-connected student you may be eligible for multiple military education benefits including GI Bill®, Minnesota GI Bill®, Federal Tuition Assistance and State Tuition Reimbursement.
The MDVA Central Region Coordinator is available to help you understand your benefits. Certificates of Eligibility may be submitted to SCSU's certifying official.
