Our Veterans Report on ACC:
A sizable veteran community on campus is often a sign that a school knows how to support students with a military background. Per VA data, there are 134 GI Bill® students at ACC. Since the total enrollment at the school is 2,393, nearly 5.6% of the student body is using the GI Bill® to help pay for their education. For perspective, about three to four percent of college students in the U.S. are veterans, according to the Student Veterans of America.
This number includes all chapters of the GI Bill®, such as Post-9/11, the Montgomery GI Bill®, the Reserve Education Assistance Program, and Veteran Readiness and Employment. It leaves out active-duty personnel using Tuition Assistance, meaning the total military presence may be greater. About 0.8% of all students at ACC, based on College Scorecard data.
How a school’s veterans persist, transfer, and graduate is a useful signal of how well it serves them.
| Outcome | Veterans | All Students |
|---|---|---|
| Graduation rate | 36.4% | 31.0% |
| Transfer-out rate | 9.1% | — |
Rates are reported via the VA’s GI Bill® Comparison Tool.
