Military and Veteran Services has offices on campus at TAMUCT and on base at Fort Hood. Our offices are primarily set up to provide information for students, part recruitment, part education benefit processing and part help desk for active-duty service members, veterans, spouses, dependents, retirees, and other prospective students.
If you would like help, you can Book an Appointment to meet online or or by phone. You can call or email to schedule a meeting on campus or at Fort Hood or you can just drop by either location, no appointment necessary.

Our Mission
The Veterans Affairs Center strives to reduce transition issues for Veterans and service members by sponsoring Veteran support activities and promptly certifying education benefits in accordance with federal, state, and university regulations. Veterans are afforded the same rights and must meet all academic requirements and maintain the same academic standards as any student attending Texas A&M University Central Texas. A&M–Central Texas participates in the Yellow Ribbon Program.
