The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) supports military-affiliated students through community building, events, mentorship, advocacy, and connection to campus and community resources. While the VRC provides holistic support, we do not process or certify VA education benefits. All matters related to VA education benefits—including enrollment certification, payment processing, and benefit status—are handled by the Veterans Certification Office. For any questions about your benefits, please contact the Veterans Certification Office directly.
Office of Academic Records and Registrar
The USC Veterans Certification Office certifies enrollment for USC students who apply and are eligible for educational assistance administered by the Veterans Administration. The office forwards enrollment certifications to regional offices of the Veterans Administration, provides assistance to students with problems related to the Veterans Administration educational (or covered) programs, and maintains a reference file on all VA students for up to three years.
Military Tuition Assistance
Military Tuition Assistance (TA) is a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Congress has given each service the ability to pay up to 100% of its members’ tuition expenses.
