UC Irvine Veteran Services Center (students)
Description
The Veteran Benefits Office processes VA education benefits, and the Veteran Services Center builds a supportive community for military-connected students, with assistance with educational benefits, academic connections, and resource navigation.
Why this place helps: A student veteran can lose a semester of housing money to one benefits paperwork error, and this office exists to catch those errors and connect veterans to each other and to campus help.
Who it is for: UCI military-connected students: dependents, veterans, reservists, National Guard members, and active-duty members.
Hours: General office hours (phone and email): Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. In-person hours during regular quarters: Tuesday to Thursday, 1:00 PM to 4:45 PM
Ask for: The Veteran Benefits Office, or the Veteran Services Center.
When you call, say: “I am a veteran starting at UCI. Can you check my education benefits and tell me what to file first?”
What to bring: Your DD214 if you have it, your VA education benefit letter, and your student ID.
What to do: Call (949) 824-3500 or email [email protected], and visit G306 in the Student Center during in-person hours in the quarter.
