Why Worry About Veteran Services at Belhaven 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 Belhaven as both a student and a veteran.

For Veterans, There Might be Better Options than Belhaven University

Overall, Belhaven University performs poorly on our ranking of the Best Colleges For Veterans (#1,027), but the factors that we think are important to veterans might not apply in your situation.

According to the VA, there are 255 Post-9/11 G.I. Bill ® recipients at Belhaven. 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.

Why Does Size Matter?

A large number of veterans attending a college means the college and faculty are more used to supporting and accommodating the needs of veterans.

Federal Program Participation

Several federally funded groups set standards for colleges educating service members. Belhaven University participates in two of them. Involvement in these programs plays a key role in helping us determine how good an option a college is for veterans.

Appeal, Appeal, Appeal

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.

Additional Credit Considerations

Questions you may want to ask the admissions department.

  • What is your policy for accepting transfer credits from other colleges?
  • Who determines the relevance of prior courses to courses offered here and their applicability to my intended major?
  • What is your process for appealing initial transfer decisions I don't agree with?
  • Which nationally accredited colleges do you accept credits from?
