Military Service Members and Veterans Admissions
Fri: 8:00 am - 3:00 pm
At Coppin State University, there is space for everyone to belong—including active duty military service members and veterans. From prior learning credit opportunities to holistic student support, Coppin takes an active role in helping you transition from service to classroom to new career heights.
How does Coppin define a current or former military service member?
A current service member is part of any of the following six official branches of the U.S. Armed Forces: Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, Space Force and Coast Guard.
A former military service member is a veteran of any of the six branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, who served on active duty for more than 180 days and was discharged honorably or due to a service connected disability.
Do I need to submit additional documentation with my Coppin Admissions application?
We strongly urge all active duty service members to consult with their military education services officer (ESO) prior to embarking on your college career. Your ESO is most helpful in identifying financial resources and career paths that best align your career goals and prior military training . All veterans and service members must also provide a copy of either DD Form 214 (Certificate of Discharge) or active military orders to the Office of Admissions to verify your military service. For information on accessing your VA education benefits or federal tuition assistance, please visit our Veteran and Military Student page.
