The Office of Veterans Affairs wants to to assist our Student Veterans with resources to help them be successful in their college careers.  The Ball State University Veteran Resources Guide is designed for Student Veterans and family members to inform them about the numerous student resources on campus and other related topics.  Also, please refer to the On Campus and Off Campus sections below for additional veterans resources available.
On Campus

Academic Advising

Utilizing a student-centered approach, Ball State University advisors are dedicated to teaching students how to successfully access academic information and connect to crucial resources as well as equipping them with the skills necessary to develop a high-quality educational experience and achieve timely graduation.

Career Center

The Career Center services and programs focus on the mission of connecting all of our partners for the purpose of helping students integrate their education, self-awareness, and experiences to empower a lifetime of career achievement and personal satisfaction.


Counseling Center

The Counseling Center provides free and confidential psychological and career resources to students. The primary mission of the agency is to assist students in reaching their educational goals, as well as to improve their quality of life. The staff is diverse, professional, warm, and receptive to students who seek services.


Disability Services

Disability Services (DS) coordinates services and accommodations for students with disabilities. In doing so, we review disability documentation, meet with students to determine appropriate accommodations, and work with other areas on campus to implement the accommodations.

Learning Center

The Learning Center is part of University College, which offers student-centered programs and services that enhance students’ success.

The services provided by the center are free and available for Ball State students for general courses they are currently enrolled in at BSU and for courses they are preparing to take at BSU, as well as general study skills tutoring to aid in their overall success at BSU. Tutoring sessions are led by Ball State students who meet certain academic requirements and are available one-on-one or in small groups.
