Veterans Benefits

Thank you for your service!

Veterans Benefits Unit in the Office of the Registrar

The Veterans Benefits unit provides veterans and their dependents the information and assistance required to seamlessly receive veterans’ educational benefits while pursuing their academic careers at UC Berkeley.

Our staff liaises between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Berkeley students eligible for federal veterans’ educational benefits. We also assist students eligible for the California Department of Veterans Affairs College Fee Waiver (Cal Vet) program.

Please note: The Veterans Benefits team can support you with educational benefits and Cal Vet waivers.

Please contact the Cal Veteran Services Center if you have questions about:

  • Applying to UC Berkeley,
  • Transfer credit, or
  • Financial aid (topics outside of VA educational benefits).
