Veteran Support Services

Division of Student Affairs

The Division of Student Affairs recognizes the sacrifice our soldiers make and strives to raise awareness around the needs of servicemen, servicewomen and their families. Several departments within the Division of Student Affairs provide services, programs and support for all veteran students in order to enrich and complement your academic experience.

• The Center for Student and Community Engagement is a resource for more than 80 student organizations, including academic, social, community, multicultural, social justice and religious groups. The center also develops procedures for planning events on campus.
• Commuter Student Services provides extensive services for students who live off campus and need assistance with nonacademic matters relating to university and campus life.
• The Health Services Center promotes wellness and provides access to quality healthcare to Adelphi’s diverse student population.
• The Interfaith Center is where you can worship and seek spiritual guidance. Services are conducted by Catholic, Jewish, Protestant and Muslim chaplains. The Interfaith Center sponsors events and programs jointly from these offices, emphasizing its interfaith focus and purpose.
• The Student Access Office offers cost-free assistance and services tailored to the needs of individuals based on their specific, appropriately documented disabilities.
