Getting Started: Veteran
1
Establish the GI Bill and other educational benefits for which you qualify.
Visit the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website and go to their Roadmap for Success website.
2
Apply for benefits online or by mail.
At the above website, you can complete online application forms or print and send the forms by mail. The online forms are recommended as they are processed much more quickly. If you need help with the process or need to know what to bring to the VA office, contact the Wright State VA Office at (937) 775-5550 or veteransaffairs@wright.edu.
4
Apply for Financial Aid. Wright State's code is 003078 on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). If you desire, apply for Wright State Scholarships.

Wright State awards college credit for basic military training. All eligible credits must be recognized by the American Council on Education (ACE), who recommends appropriate credit hours to be awarded. Request transcripts from all the institutions that you have attended, including Advanced Placement (AP), CLEP, DANTES Standardized Subject Test, Excelsior College Credit-by-exam, and eligible military training credits (CCAF, AARTS, SMART, & USCG) have final transcripts sent to the Office of Admissions, Wright State University, 3640 Colonel Glenn Hwy, Dayton, OH 45435 (937-775-5700, 1-800-247-1770), www.wright.edu/admissions. To avoid duplication of courses, all transcripts should be submitted as soon as they are available.

Shortly after you receive your Wright State Admissions letter, you will receive an email that contains a link to the Orientation. You will need your UID and password, also provided in your admissions letter. We encourage you to set aside about one-half hour to complete this interactive orientation.
7
Register for classes: All admitted students will be assigned to a specific early registration group based on their student classification, the number of credit hours earned, and in some cases randomization within the largest registration groups to subdivide them. Coordinate your registration period with your appointment with your academic advisor. Class Schedule
If you were admitted to University College, contact them at (937) 775-5750.
If you were directly admitted to the college of your major, you can contact that college at:
| College | Office Location | Phone (Area code 937) |
|---|---|---|
| Business | 110 Rike Hall | 775-2437 |
| Education & Human Services | 415 Allyn Hall | 775-2821 |

| Nursing & Health | 160 University Hall | 775-3131 |
| Science & Mathematics | 134 Oelman Hall | 775-2611 |
Registration for each term is divided into two periods, Early Registration and Open Registration. Each period has different due dates and policies regarding the cancellation of registration due to nonpayment by the due date.
All students are expected to complete the registration process, including schedule changes, by the end of the Open Registration Period when online registration closes. Specific dates for each term are published in the academic calendar.

Apply for a parking permit.

Complete the Veterans Enrollment Report every term that you are a student.
Students receiving educational benefits must complete the Veterans Enrollment Report each term. If you change your major or your class schedule or completely withdraw after you have submitted this form, you will need to complete the add/drop card to the Wright State Office of Veteran Affairs.
Call or phone for an appointment: by phone: (937) 775-5550; e-mail: veteransaffairs@wright.edu. We are required to certify your enrollment each term with the VA. Failure to report any schedule or major changes to the Office of Veterans Affairs, may result in an overpayment, which the VA will require you to repay.

Check your Wright State email frequently. In your email you will receive any Financial Aid awards, your bill, time-sensitive notifications, etc.
