University of North Texas

Campus veteran services

The University of North Texas maintains a community supporting a seamless transition from military life to civilian college life.  Our goal is to remove barriers that student veterans face with the transition support.  We hope to provide student veterans and dependents connections to resources both on and off campus, and to give recognition to the service members in our UNT community through programs and scholarships.  We also train faculty and staff to better understand military life and transition.
