Military-Affiliated Student Resources

Greetings From The Office of Student Veterans!

We hope our student veterans and military-affiliated community are adjusting well to the Fall semester. Our outstanding partners have created introductory clips of their services and instructions on how to access their resources.

Click below to view brief videos from the Office of the University Registrar (VA Education Benefits), Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), DuWell (Health and Wellness Promotion), Recreation and Physical Education, Durham County Veteran Services, and the Veterans Crisis Line (in partnership with the Durham VA).

Many additional resources can be found at our website. As always, reach out to our office at veterans@studentaffairs.duke.edu if there are any questions or anything we can do to support you and your families.

Wishing you good health.

Clay, Grace, Evan and Steph

Veterans Crisis Line

The Office of Student Veterans partners closely with colleagues within the Durham VA Health Care System. One crucial part of this partnership is making sure students know that the Veterans and Military Crisis Line is available 24/7/365. Students don’t need to be in a crisis to call, and they can call about themselves or about a friend who is in need.
