Who We Support*
Andrews University supports a broad range of military-connected students pursuing undergraduate and graduate education.
*Support and eligibility vary based on individual benefits and program requirements.
VA Education Benefits Overview
The University is approved for certification of students eligible to receive educational assistance from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA). The DVA determines eligibility for Veterans (VA) educational assistance. Veterans and Active Duty Service Members students may use these benefits toward approved undergraduate and graduate programs, subject to individual eligibility and program requirements.
Andrews University does not determine benefit eligibility or coverage amounts. Our goal is to be the liaison between the VA or Military Benefit and the school. The process is owned by the VA. Students using VA education benefits are encouraged to work directly with Andrews University Veterans Services to receive accurate, up-to-date guidance throughout the enrollment and certification process.
Veterans Services Support
Students using VA education benefits work with designated university staff who assist with VA certification processes, required documentation, and ongoing certification-related coordination.
Financial Guidance
Student Financial Services staff are available to help explain student accounts and additional financial aid options when applicable. VA certification, benefit coordination, and billing related to VA education benefits are handled through Andrews University Veterans Services.

Academic advisors help students understand program requirements, course planning, and degree pathways based on individual academic goals.

Andrews University reviews transfer credits in accordance with accreditation standards, academic policies, and departmental guidelines. Credit acceptance varies by program and is determined after an official evaluation.
