VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC)
In October 2013, Liberty University became one of the nation’s campus locations that offers VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC).
The VetSuccess on Campus (VSOC) program is a collaborative effort between Liberty University and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with the purpose of easing Veterans’ transition to student life and helping them achieve their educational and career goals. VetSuccess on Campus services at Liberty are provided for Veterans, service members, and their qualified dependents who are eligible for or are receiving any VA Education Service benefit.
The VetSuccess Counselor can assist you with:
- How to apply for and maximize your VA educational benefits (should you be eligible for more than one).
- Information on college credit for military experience and training.
- Vocational exploration and assistance in selecting a major/career compatible with your interests, aptitudes, and abilities.
- Information on other VA benefits, including disability compensation, life insurance, Home Loan Guarantees, and Veteran Readiness & Employment (VR&E).
- Electing your healthcare benefits with the Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA).
- Information and referrals for VA medical and mental health services.
- Referrals to on-campus, community, and VA resources to promote academic success.
- Employment information and assistance.
Once approved, you will be assigned a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor in your state. The VetSuccess On Campus (VSOC) Counselor has additional duties as a VR&E Counselor (VRC). Students who would like to be assigned to the VSOC/VREC on Liberty’s campus should visit our VSOC/VREC webpage.
