Veterans at Catholic Distance University
We were unable to rank Catholic Distance University in our Best Colleges For Veterans Ranking.
According to the VA, there are 16 Post-9/11 G.I. Bill® recipients at Catholic Distance 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. Catholic Distance University participates in none 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.
