Welcome to the Military and Veteran Resources Office at Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, where we are committed to fostering a strong, supportive community for our military-affiliated students.
Whether you're an active-duty service member, veteran, guardsman, reservist, ROTC cadet, or military family member, our office is here to guide you through every step of your academic journey. We provide personalized assistance in navigating military educational benefits, evaluating and transferring credits from prior learning—both from civilian institutions and professional military education—and connecting you with a dedicated network of staff and fellow students who understand your unique experiences and values. At Commonwealth University, you’ll find a campus community that honors your service and empowers your success!
Showcase Day
Learn more about the unique resources available to support active-duty military and veteran students during this Showcase Day on Friday, Feb. 6 in Bloomsburg. Space is limited, register today!
Connect with our team of school certifying officials, Department of Veterans Affairs student workers, and staff of military veterans to help you make the most of your military educational benefits.
Military and Veteran students may be closer to completing a college degree than they think through our Military Credit for Prior Learning Program, which provides college credit for previous military experience!
Those students actively serving in the military, to include the guard and reserves, and honorably discharged veterans are entitled to priority course scheduling and registration.
Our Military & Veteran Resource Centers are a safe place for current and former military members and military supporters to relax and connect. Each center is staffed by current and former military members who are here to help!
The Bloomsburg University Student Veterans Association (BUSVA) is a social, educational and community service-led organization that provides services, support and opportunities for military students and military supporters who attend the university.
Commonwealth University maintains a strong, mutually supportive partnership with the Pennsylvania National Guard allowing us to meet the unique needs of our Soldiers and Airmen!
At Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, we honor military family members by offering flexible, affordable, and purpose-driven education — both in person and online — to support your goals wherever life takes you.
In addition to the Military Resources Center, Commonwealth University offers a number of counseling resources and services, which any student, including military students, may contact if they are having any issues or concerns.
