Dedicated in serving our nearly 2,000 military-connected students! This is the official page of Veterans Services at CSU San Marcos.

We pride ourselves on our high-touch holistic approach toward our military-connected students, and offer a wide array of services and resources for them. The Veteran Services team is comprised of faculty and staff, mostly Veterans themselves, serving student veterans, active duty, and family members in a number of ways.
