The Bursar’s Office manages the financial aspects of Veteran Educational Benefits, while the Registrar’s Office provides the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) with enrollment certifications. Questions about eligibility and tuition/housing benefits should be directed to the VA at: www.va.gov/education/ or 1-888-442-4551. Veterans are also encouraged to visit or call the campus Veterans Center (518-458-5364) for one-on-one guidance and advice.

Veterans an veteran affiliates intending to use VA benefits should contact the Veteran School Certifying Official (SCO) at Saint Rose at 518-458-5458 or registrar@strose.edu.

It is incumbent on the VA benefits recipient to follow the policies and guidelines outlined by the VA and The College of Saint Rose.
