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.

Updated: June, 2026

To receive timely payments from the VA, the TAMUCT Military and Veteran Service Center recommends using the suggested dates as a priority deadline for submission of VA Certification Request. Students who submit a certification request after the priority deadline may experience a delay in payments.
