Thank You for Your Service

The University of Oregon is committed to providing all of our student veterans and their families with the highest level of support and dedication. Our campus offers a variety of resources to assist you during your time at the UO. Professional staff in the Office of the Dean of Students can help you navigate campus and connect you with these important services.

Enroll at the University of Oregon

The UO welcomes students who have served our country in the armed forces and their families. The Office of Admissions and the UO Office of Veterans Affairs assist veterans in making a seamless transition from military service to the campus community. Our mission is to ensure that all eligible student veterans, reservists, and dependents obtain educational benefits in compliance with the procedures and regulations of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.


Find a Community

The UO veterans program connects incoming veterans and their families with current veterans on campus. Whether faculty and staff or a student starting your academic journey, there is a community of veterans on campus that is excited to meet you!


Receive Medical and Mental Health Care

On-campus medical care and mental health services are available to enrolled UO students. There are also centers in Eugene that are managed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.


Access Resources and Support

The UO takes care of its veterans and their families. On-campus resources are here to support your personal and academic success including financial crisis assistance, career planning, housing options, and child care.
