What is a Veteran Day Student?
A veteran day student is an honorably discharged veteran who can take classes in-person and/or online alongside the Corps of Cadets.
An eligible non-cadet veteran is defined to be an individual who provides evidence through a DD 214 of honorable discharge from one of the Armed Services indicating a minimum of 90 consecutive days of full-time federal active service, other than active duty for training.
While these students take classes alongside Cadets, they do not adhere to Corps of Cadets requirements.
