Military & Veteran Student Services
Gold Status Military Friendly® Small Public Institution
Welcome to the University of Northern Iowa Military & Veteran Student Services website. We pride ourselves on being a military-friendly campus where we serve to educate our nation’s finest. UNI provides support not only to military and veteran students, but also to military spouses and dependents who are using their spouse or parent(s) education benefits. As this is a school environment, the Veteran Center is located in Maucker Union up on the second floor behind the student involvement in 111K as part of the Panther Den. We welcome all students to come and hang out, use the resources, and grab a drink and snack.
Here at UNI, we ascribe to the Military Friendly® philosophy of creating better outcomes for veterans.
As such, we have received the Top 10 School designation for the 2022-2023 school year. Please see The Military Friendly Website for more details.
As well as serving those who have served, we serve the spouses of those who serve and have served.
We also received the Military Friendly® Spouse School Designation. We understand the needs and experiences of Military spouses and families are unique and we strive to provide needed support while military spouses obtain their degrees.
