The 3 most important things you need to know:

  1. The Office of Military & Veteran Success (OMVS) processes all military benefits at Southeastern Louisiana University. Please direct all questions regarding your military funding and benefits to our office by visiting, calling, or emailing us at veterans@southeastern.edu . We look forward to meeting you!
  2. You must turn in a copy of your Certificate of Eligibility from the VA. If we do not have this form, we can not submit your enrollment hours or bill the VA for your courses.
  3. You must submit the Veterans Certification Request form to our office in the Student Union Annex every semester that you are enrolled in order for any of your military benefits to be applied to your account, regardless of which benefit you are using.
