General Information

Veteran’s Affairs is located within the Office of Admissions and Recruitment, and we are dedicated to providing exceptional service to all our students. We are available to assist veteran students with obtaining educational benefits to help pay for school. Veteran Affairs also hosts a variety of events to improve relationships with veteran students on campus and CUNY-wide. If you have any questions or concerns, please make an appointment to see one of our representatives in the Office of Veterans Affairs located at 1150 Carroll Street, Room 306. Students must notify the certifying official of all changes in their course load every semester in order to ensure their eligibility for future benefits. Contact the Veteran Certifying Official at 718-270-4915. Forms completed by the Veteran Affairs Office in the Office of Admission are submitted to the regional VA office. Veterans’ educational benefits are available from federal and state sources.

To ask any general education benefit question or to inquire concerning the status of an education claim, veterans should contact the VA Education Service through its website at www.gibill.va.gov or call 888-GI-BILL-1 (888-442 4551) to speak with a veteran’s benefits counselor. Current rates of payment for any of these programs, as well as late-breaking news regarding VA benefits, can be obtained by calling the toll-free number above or via the Internet at www.gibill.va.gov/ education/benefits.htm.
