We can also refer students to campus resources and community agencies upon request. Information about registering for disability-related services can be found at www.nova.edu/disabilityservices.

Because skills and experiences differ significantly from those of the more traditional student, student-veterans may find it necessary to transfer and translate those skills into terms that are more marketable to a potential employer. Our staff members provide a variety of other services including drop-in advisement, workshops, on-campus employer visits, and employer networking opportunities. NSU
