Military | Veteran | Dependent Student Success Resources

Students using VA benefits are eligible to have their book charges deferred when they use the Sun Devil Campus Stores for their book purchases. Please contact the Pat Tillman Veterans Center to validate your eligibility with the Sun Devil Campus Stores. For students using Chapter 31 Veteran Readiness and Employment, have your VRC send an authorization directly to Sun Devil Campus Stores.

ASU realizes that students may be called to U.S. military service and unable to complete a term due to these unforeseeable circumstances. If a student is called to active duty, staff in the Pat Tillman Veterans Center will assist students in completing the military activation process. It is recommended that this process be completed prior to deployment when possible.

Please submit a completed military activation form and a copy of your qualifying order to active duty to the Pat Tillman Veterans Center on your campus. If applicable, please also complete the Military Deferment Request for current student loans or previous outstanding student aid.

Under Arizona revised statutes, certain active duty military members, veterans, and dependents of active duty military members or veterans, may qualify for resident tuition rates if they have demonstrated objective evidence of intent to be a resident of Arizona – for example, an Arizona driver’s license or Arizona voter registration. Please visit ASU’s residency website and use the Residency Navigator and associated Military or Veteran buttons to learn more about the requirements, residency petition steps, and petition deadlines.

By Arizona statute, no failing grades received by a veteran at an Arizona university or community college before military service may be considered when determining admissibility. This exception applies only to veterans who fulfill these three criteria:

• Are honorably discharged.
• Have served in the armed forces of the United States for a minimum of two years.
• Have previously enrolled at a university or community college in Arizona.

Military service records must be submitted, including DD form 214.

Please note that while the veterans exception policy assists in gaining admission to ASU, individual schools, colleges or programs of study which have a higher GPA requirement will consider all previous coursework completed by prospective students.
