VC serves a diverse student population and offers many academic programs so the VC website contains a LOT of information but it can be overwhelming.

VRC staff members are available to guide military-related students directly through the process of applying to VC, enrolling in classes, connecting to benefits and securing the resources they need to comfortably reach their educational goals. 

Although the VRC is temporarily closed, we continue to maintain a welcoming voice over the phone and provide the hands-on support when you call or email us. 

The VRC's only goal is to ensure the success of our veterans, their eligible dependents, active duty, National Guard and reserve students. 

College is a challenge and students are busy and stressed. The VRC is a comfort zone for students. A place where they can call and speak with a live person for answers, direction and hands-on support.

We work with other VC departments to solve problems so our students can focus on being students. Being able to concentrate on school without distraction reduces stress and supports student success.

The VRC's only goal is to ensure the success of our veterans, their eligible dependents, active duty, National Guard and reserve students. 

Whether an active duty member, a veteran or a dependent of a veteran, VC is a great value and investment in oneself.  It’s a perfect pathway for members transitioning out of the military who seek opportunities for comradery with other student veterans, networking opportunities and to further develop their skills.

VC is a great place for military families because we can link dependents and children of veterans with CalVET educational funding.

Because all courses are currently being taught online, VC is available to active duty members around the world including Reservists and National Guard members.

I personally benefitted from VC and the services provided on campus. I am a Proud Pirate who earned an AA from VC then continued on to earn a BA at Mill's College and MPA at CSUEB. My career goal was to earn a good education and come back to help students achieve their educational goals. 

Since accepting the position of Program Coordinator, I’ve strived to make the VRC welcoming and effective. Students who came into the VRC in Fall 2019 gave it high ratings and expressed gratitude that VC has a nice place for students to connect and receive services and support. Although the campus is currently closed, we continue to provide friendly, personalized service over the phone.
