Introduction
Beginning Summer 2022, all military-affiliated students (Active-Duty, National Guard, Reserve, Veteran service members, and their spouses and child dependents) must submit an online military request form prior to registration each term. This ensures current branch, status, and funding information on file. Completing the form authorizes Empire State University to certify your enrollment to the VA for that term. Without it, certification and account crediting cannot occur.
The form is available at My Military Information Form. Additional benefits information is at Veterans Benefits. For VA benefit questions, email vco@sunyempire.edu.
