Hey everyone! I'm currently a junior and considering applying to UNCC next year. I'm also a military kid, so I was wondering if there's a good support system for veterans and their families at UNCC. Have any of you had any experiences with the services they offer for military families?
Hey! It's great that you're considering UNCC, and support for military families is definitely an important aspect to consider. UNCC does offer resources geared towards veterans and their families, including the Office of Military and Veteran Services (OMVS). The OMVS provides services like academic support, career development assistance, benefits advisement and certification, and more. They are dedicated to making the transition to college life easier for military-affiliated students.
Another valuable resource is the Student Veterans Association (SVA), a student-led organization on campus that fosters a sense of community and support for both veterans and their families. The group hosts a variety of events and activities throughout the year and provides a space where you can connect with peers who share a military background. Overall, these resources can help you feel supported and welcomed during your time at UNCC.
While I haven't had personal experience with these services, many students have found them helpful. Be sure to look into UNCC's OMVS and the SVA when applying, and don't hesitate to reach out to their offices for more information. All the best in your college search!
