Veterans Resources Overview

Welcome veterans! We are honored to have you on campus and look forward to your continued success here. For some veterans, going back to school can present unique challenges. If that is true for you, remember that you do not have to face these challenges on your own. We are here to help.

We are committed to helping students make the best possible choices while attaining the maximum assistance, guidance, and support while pursuing their educational goals. Skyline College assures its veteran students receive superb support services, and resources for personal growth and development, and educational success.
