VETERANS’RESOURCE CENTER

The Veterans’ Resource Center serves as a liaison between EvCC and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Everett Community College has been approved by the VA as meeting the Principles of Excellence. A representative is available to assist veterans and activate all veterans’ educational benefits.

A determination of eligibility by the VA and receipt of first month’s benefits can take four to six weeks, so students should apply well in advance of their anticipated start date if they are planning to use their benefits to pay for initial costs (e.g. tuition and books). In order to maintain benefits, veteran students must keep the veterans’ advisor apprised of enrollment plans each quarter and are required to follow VA regulations pertaining to standards of conduct and academic progress. Information packets, applications, and assistance for all veterans’ programs are available from the EvCC Veterans ' Resource Center staff. The Veterans’ Resource Center staff are located in Baker Hall Room 203, phone 425-388-9277 or by email at veterans@everettcc.edu.
