You’ll
find that PNC is a veteran friendly campus.
We know
that veterans and current service members face unique challenges and
each person’s situation is different. At PNC we see you as an
individual and will work with you to ensure that your education suits
you and your career aspirations.
At PNC
we are committed to providing personalized student services. Your
success is important to us.
Priority Registration
Recognizing your
service to country and the unique challenges that you may face as a
result, PNC offers veterans and service members the opportunity to
register for courses at the earliest possible date. Veterans and
service members are eligible to register, along with graduating
seniors, at the opening of registration.
Fee
Deferment
The
Bursar’s Office automatically puts a fee deferment in place for
registered students certified as eligible for GI Bill educational
benefits. This allows for additional time for these educational
benefits to be applied to tuition and fees without worry of having
class registration canceled if the GI Bill has not yet paid to a
student’s tuition and fee statement prior to the start of the
academic semester.
Set Up a Campus Tour
You and your family members
are welcome to visit PNC to see all that we have to offer. Chances
are, you’ll have plenty of questions. That’s why you may choose
to take a campus tour with a veteran who is a member of our PNC
veterans organization. You can hear first-hand about a fellow
veteran’s experience at PNC and ask questions about student and
campus life. Schedule a veteran-to-veteran tour today.
Campus
Activities
Veterans
and active service members are encouraged to get involved in the many
clubs and activities on campus. In turn, PNC offers a variety of
activities and opportunities that are of specific interest to
veterans and that help others on campus become more aware of our
veterans and their contributions.
PNC
hosts an annual Veterans Day ceremony and declares April as Veterans
Awareness Month featuring guest speakers addressing a variety of
veteran’s issues. Each academic year, PNC will plan additional
activities of interest to veterans, the campus and surrounding
community.
Veteran’s
Office on Campus
A U.S. Veterans Affairs representative from the Vet
Center of Northwest Indiana has scheduled office hours by appointment
in the Dean of Students Office in the Library-Student-Faculty
Building Room 103. The VA representative will provide a variety of
services to all veterans and their families and make referrals to
community agencies, and employment counseling and job referral.
PNC Veterans
The
Veterans organization was established to provide veteran-to-veteran
support during the transition from military life to university life.
The organization partners with PNC and the community to provide
veterans with a forum to get together in an informal setting to
network, make friends and support one another as students and as
veterans. Membership includes men and women who represent all
branches of the military, from current active members to VietNam-era
veterans and from all walks of life. One of the popular events
sponsored by the PNC Veterans organization is an annual Labor Day
fundraiser.
