The citizenry of America supports our veterans. On return from the service, many Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are attending college. Some of these veterans encounter difficulties that interfere with their efforts to obtain a degree. Recent examination of this situation indicates that higher education is largely unaware of these problems. This book reviews knowledge that can help college administrators and professors to update practices at their school to properly serve the needs of veterans concerning: financial aid, transfer credits, educational programs, classroom climate, and the health care of veterans. Most of the problems discussed here originate in higher education’s lack of knowledge about the unique needs of veterans. America’s educators want as many veterans as possible to attend and complete a college education. If American higher education adjusts its practices to be helpful to veterans, veterans will obtain the education that they pursue.

Many veterans are returning to, or beginning, college in the United States. In general, colleges and universities openly welcome our returning veterans to campus. Like all students, veterans want to get off to a good start and make smooth adjustments to college. However, some faculty members, college administrators and staff are sometimes unprepared to properly advise and assist veterans, especially when these professors or administrators have not served in the military. This handbook has been written to provide veterans with the answers to many of the questions that they might have in college. The handbook will provide valuable information that some veterans may need to handle sensitive situations, should they arise. The authors believe that this handbook will save veterans’ time, effort and potentially money when it comes to getting a college education. The authors are exceptionally well qualified to provide the knowledge and advice presented in this handbook. Each author was a veteran when he obtained a college degree after serving in the military. Both authors have held positions that required them to answer a diverse number of questions about veterans in college. With colleagues both authors have also co-authored other books that information about how professors may teach and college administrators may provide services to veterans in college. It is the hope of both authors that all veterans are successful in college, in their future careers and in their lives. Finally, the authors express their utmost respect to all service members and veterans for their many sacrifices for our country.
