Welcome to Veterans University!

Message from the Director

Welcome to Veterans University, California State University's student veterans advocacy office. Our office performs the following services:

  • Benefit certifcation for veterans educational benefits and for the dependents of veterans using the CalVet fee waiver
  • Assistance for recently redeploying veterans (last six months) who want to apply late
  • Support and oversight for the VetNet, the student veterans on-campus organization
  • Awareness initiatives and presentations such as the VET NET ALLY Program
  • Referral assistance for off-campus support concerning healthcare, employment, and transition

Last semester we experienced a tremendous amount of turmoil with the new Post-911 GI Bill. We anticipate more of the same spring semester so please pay close attention to your student accounts and payments made by the VA. We recommend tracking your accounts and double checking the VA's calculations.

I strongly encourage all veterans to join VetNet, our student organization. Statistics show that students who assimilate to campus life by developing associations with like-minded students or faculty members have a higher degree of success.

Finally, our office is not a traditional CSULB office. We employ two fulltime staff and four work study students who serve over 400 veterans and 350 dependents of veterans here on campus. Let us know when you need assistance but be patient as we have hundreds of non-student inquiries each week.

I look forward to meeting you!

Patrick C. O'Rourke
