  5. Statement of Purpose The objective of the online student Veterans orientation is to help Veteran students assimilate to the college environment, by providing a convenient online interactive tool to reduce time and stress associated with traditional on campus orientations.

  6. Anticipated Outcomes: • Increase student Veteran population by improving accessibility to key information during the enrollment process. • Increase student Veteran flexibility by eliminating traditional brick and mortar orientations. • Reduce payment delays from the VA caused by Veteran student misunderstanding and errors. • Evaluate and analyze online orientation assessments to determine what areas need more in-depth explanation. • Provide video materials or online access for student Veterans to revisit when needed.
