The OVSS is committed to serving: the Veteran students of the Armed Forces of the United States and their dependents; the Kean community; and the surrounding community. This office will accomplish this mission by providing exceptional services where the student is always first.
Kean Veterans Educational Transition Services (V.E.T.S.)
The Kean V.E.T.S Program assists the transition process from soldier to student. The Program works with each Veteran, Reservist, Guard Member, Active Duty and Dependents from admissions to graduation. The Program uses a “one stop” approach that successfully supports this population. This involves serving as a veteran’s liaison with other offices at Kean (Financial Aid, Registrar, Student Accounting, Residence Life, etc.) as well as with governmental agencies (Department of Veteran’s Affairs, N. J. Approving Agency, U. S. Department of Education, etc.) in order to serve the needs of this specialized student population. Veteran Student Services supports Kean University’s dual mission of excellence and access, while fostering a student centered environment for veterans.
Kean-Ocean students receive the same services, located in the Gateway Building Room 407, (732) 255-0400 Ext. 2141.
