University of Wisconsin–Madison

Current Students

Guidance for current UW–Madison veteran students, including how to confirm your benefits each semester, resources, and things to do as a veteran.

Confirm your education benefits

Each semester, you will need to confirm the benefits you wish to use. University Veteran Services will not certify you without confirmation you would like to use your benefits. It’s important to confirm as early as possible – waiting to do this can delay GI Bill® payments or financial aid awards.

Resources

Guidance on how to manage your federal education benefits and ensure you receive payments in a timely manner.

They’ll help guide you with the application and certification process, as well as assist with any other questions.

Steps to take before leaving UW–Madison for active duty and steps to take when returning from active duty.

Helping student veterans succeed. We recognize that student veterans sometimes have different needs from other students. This page has information on academic success, groups, child care, and other support.

Find information about using your education benefits to cover some of the costs of studying abroad.

Find information and programming for students who are children of veterans or active duty service members.

Report an issue

When you are concerned about a student’s well-being or know a student who may need additional support.

Including slurs, degrading language, epithets, graffiti, symbols, assault, microaggressions, and harassment.

This could include a student that you are concerned about, hazing, stalking, or a missing student.
