Adjustment Counseling

We understand that for our Veterans and their dependents, transitioning from active duty to civilian and campus life can be very stressful.  Vet Success On Campus offers adjustment counseling to make this transition easier. 

Collaboration

APSU earns its reputation of being a “Veteran Friendly” campus every day by offering a vast number of services and facilities especially designed to meet the needs of our Active Duty Military, Veterans, and Family Members.  These services include the APSU Newton Military Family Resource Center, APSU Office of Student Disability Resource Center, APSU Student Counseling Services and APSU Office of Veterans Affairs. We work in close cooperation with these other services to ensure that your transitional needs are being met, and that there are no gaps in services.
