California State University - Stanislaus is a Good Choice for Veterans
Standing #129 overall on our
ranking of the Best Colleges For Veterans,
California State University - Stanislaus is a good choice if you are interested in a quality education
coupled with factors we think are important to veterans.
According to the VA, there
are 153 Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® recipients
at Cal State Stanislaus.
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.
Several federally funded groups set standards for colleges educating service members. California State University - Stanislaus participates in
two
of them.

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.
