Veterans Benefits

Veterans Benefits
Upon completion of the admissions process and registration, students should meet with a VA Certifying Official in the Office of the Registrar. The enrollment certification process must be repeated every term after registration is completed.  All Veteran/Service members and dependent students will receive assistance with registration, if needed. Note: Veteran/Service members can also request a military transcript at https://jst.doded.mil/jst/ and have it forwarded to the Office of the Registrar for possible college credit. Following certification, students should contact  Student Financial Affairs (studentfinancialaffairs@ncc.edu) regarding any financial questions.

It is recommended that all students file a FAFSA, as many may be eligible for federal aid funds in addition to their VA benefit. Questions regarding the FAFSA should be directed to Financial Aid (financialaid@ncc.edu).
