Are you ready to be a Wildcat?
We’re ready to serve you.
Thank you for your dedication and service to our country. We make it easy for all of our active military members, veterans, and dependents to transition to the UA environment and feel like a Wildcat on day one.
For military transfer students, please follow the detailed steps below.
If you are a freshman or graduate student, please review the main “How to Apply” freshman and graduate pages, as the application steps are the same. However, please have your documentation on-hand to verify your military status. This is required when you apply.
For VA and Military Benefits and Assistance information, please visit “Military Aid”.
Use the UA Transfer Credit Guide to see how courses from other institutions transfer to the UA.
In addition, up to 30 documented credits from your military transcripts are transferable to the University of Arizona. These will be counted when you send your transcripts to the UA Registrar (see Step 4).
The UA Veterans Education & Transition Services Office provides detailed information and guidelines regarding the transfer process, the UA’s academic policies, and much more.
The University of Arizona is committed to adhering to and promoting Principles of Excellence when serving active duty service members, veterans, spouses, and other family members.
All military students may submit a complaint to the VA if you feel that the UA is failing to follow the Principles of Excellence as defined by President Obama's Executive Order 13607 signed on April 27, 2012.
The University of Arizona is committed to providing support, resources, and information that meet our veteran, military, and dependent student needs. Visit the Military Aid page to learn more.
Note: Before you apply for tuition assistance, go to your education center on base to ensure the UA is approved as a school.
The University of Arizona requires that you verify your residency status to qualify for in-state tuition rates. For Verification of Lawful Presence (VLP: Prop 300), we ask that you visit the UA Office of the Registrar to determine your residency status before you apply.
