Military and Veterans Services is the university's single point of contact for all military and veterans services and concerns.  The office strives to ensure the academic success of Ohio State's student-veterans.  Any student utilizing VA education benefits must work with this office as part of their registration and enrollment in The Ohio State University.    Military and Veterans Services is part of the Undergraduate Education area, as are Air Force ROTC, Army ROTC, and Naval ROTC.

Some of the office's services include:

  • Manage the VA certification and registration for all Veterans education benefits to which Student-Veterans and dependents are entitled. 

  • Coordinate all VA education benefit and payment activities with Buckeye Link, the Office of the Registrar, the Bursar, Financial Aid, and Student Records. 

  • Coordinate the Tri-Service ROTC programs & policies with university offices and enable the cadre to deliver military instruction to meet their services' needs for commissioned officers.

  • Assist students with accessing essential university services such as Academic Exploration & Advising, Student Advocacy, Counseling & Consultation, and Student Life Disability Services. 

  • Connect students with State and Federal agencies that support military-connected students and their families. 

 (Mon-Thurs 8:30am-4:30pm; Fri 8:30am-4pm)   



                      If you are a military connected student and are a parent, please register HERE to be notified of family friendly events.
