Military & Veteran Student Success

Welcome to the Military & Veteran Student Success Center at Carolina

The Military & Veteran Student Success Center (MVSS) in Student & Academic Services Building South 1310 provides a welcoming environment to study, hang out and meet other military-connected students and alumni. We welcome veterans, active-duty military, National Guard members, reservists, dependents, spouses, and ROTC cadets.

The Center is open Monday through Friday from 9:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. for student use. Professional staff offer virtual and in-person appointments. To request an appointment, email to [email protected] or call 919-962-9640. 

The Center provides a multitude of resources and amenities, which include a spacious lounge area, galley, and study spaces. We also offer academic and career workshops, front desk peer advising, and many social and wellness events throughout the year. Read more about the student experience here and here.

We have a signature on-boarding program called Boot Print to Heel Print that assists transitioning veterans and active duty students from admissions through the end of their first year.

We also offer Green Zone training. This training is for faculty, staff and students who are interested in learning more about the student veteran experience and how they can best support and assist this unique community.
