Why Worry About Veteran Services at Point University?
Colleges that are considered a good choice for veterans offer support for veterans and on-campus services. These programs ensure that you have the most successful experience at Point University as both a student and a veteran.
For Veterans, There Might be Better Options than Point University
Overall, Point University performs poorly on our ranking of the Best Colleges For Veterans (#1,345), but the factors that we think are important to veterans might not apply in your situation.
According to the VA, there are 73 Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® recipients at Point University. Note, this figure does not include any active duty military personnel that are attending this college via Tuition Assistance, so the total military population is potentially larger than this.
A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of veterans.
Are you looking for more information about military tuition assistance programs such as the G.I Bill® or Yellow Ribbon Program?
Federal Program Participation
Several federally funded groups set standards for colleges educating service members. Point University participates in one of them. Involvement in these programs plays a key role in helping us determine how good an option a college is for veterans.

Don't accept a credit decision like it is an order from your commander that must be followed. There is usually a process at most colleges to appeal any transfer credit acceptance decision. If you can convince the school that your previous class is similar enough to a class at their school you can often get them to change their decision. Spending an hour or so doing that can save an entire semester's worth of work and money.
