Veteran Services
Cayuga Community College welcomes veterans as an asset to our college community. We seek to ensure a successful transition from military service to college entry through degree completion. Each semester, we host a veteran welcome session during orientation to explain the various veteran-specific student support services available through the college.
Cayuga’s VA School Certifying Official is available to assist veterans with their educational benefits compliance issues and refer them to other College resources specific to their needs. All students on either campus are invited to join an SVA-affiliated Veterans Club.
In accordance with Title 38 US Code 3679 subsection (e), this school adopts the following additional provisions for any students using U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Post 9/11 G.I. Bill® (Ch. 33) or Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (Ch. 31) benefits, while payment to the institution is pending from the VA.
This school will not:
- Prevent nor delay the student’s enrollment;
- Assess a late penalty fee to the student;
- Require the student to secure alternative or additional funding;
- Deny the student access to any resources available to other students who have satisfied their tuition and fee bills to the institution, including but not limited to access to classes, libraries, or other institutional facilities.
However, to qualify for this provision, such students may be required to:
- Produce the Certificate of Eligibility by the first day of class;
- Provide a written request to be certified;
- Provide additional information needed to properly certify the enrollment as described in other institutional policies.
