Veteran Support

To Our Veterans

Welcome to the NC State Counseling Center! In addition to thanking you for your service, we want to let you know that we are here to support you. While the transition to a university setting can be difficult for all types of students, Veterans often face unique challenges. Fortunately, many Veterans also possess unique skills to conquer difficulties. Our aim at the Counseling Center is to help you access your own abilities to make your career at NC State successful and meaningful.

Take a look at the services offered at the Counseling Center to see how we can best support you. All services are covered by student health fees and are available to fee-paying students at no additional charge. The only exception is meeting with a psychiatrist–students are able to meet with a psychiatrist for two sessions at no charge, but additional sessions will be charged to insurance or self-pay. In addition to serving the specific needs of individual veterans, we hope to extend awareness to faculty, staff and students, by providing outreach that honors service and provides an opportunity for community-building.

Whether it is your first semester, or you have been here a while, the NC State Counseling Center is here to help. Below are some additional resources that may assist you as a Veteran at NC State.
