Office of their choice.

will meet with an academic advisor to discuss your educational
goals and select appropriate courses. You are now ready to
register.

Veterans
The Veterans Affairs Office is located in the District Records Office,
801 W. Fort Street, Detroit, MI 48226, 2nd Floor. The phone number
is (313) 496-2523 or (313) 496-2581.
The purpose of the Veterans Affairs Office is to certify the enrollment
of veterans and their dependents who are using their educational
benefits. The staff in the Veterans Affairs Office serve as a liaison
between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the students at Wayne
County Community College District. The staff assists with the
completion of forms, explaining the various degree options available
at WCCCD, and directing students to the appropriate college personnel
for support services. Veterans should schedule an appointment
with an academic advisor for individual assistance. All forms may be
printed from the WCCCD website, www.wcccd.edu.
The Department of Veterans Affairs requires that all recipients of
veteran educational benefits make progress toward their stated
program. Therefore, all veterans and their dependents receiving
benefits must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0
to remain eligible for benefits. Veterans whose cumulative GPA falls
below 2.0 will be required to raise the GPA to a satisfactory 2.0 level
within two semesters to be eligible for continued benefits. If the
veteran fails to do so, the Department of Veterans Affairs will be
notified of their unsatisfactory academic progress.
