All community colleges have wheelchair accessible buildings and facilities. If you have a special need, contact the counseling office or the student services office at the college you plan to attend for more information. Large numbers of veterans choose community colleges to pursue further training and education after leaving military service. Most community college counselors are familiar with veterans' concerns and options. In addition to counseling, community colleges, through their admissions offices, provide information and assistance with G.I. Bill benefits and the Veterans Educational Assistance Program.
Every community college offers special courses for students who speak English as a second language.
The purpose of these courses is to help students gain a command of English in order to succeed in their regular courses of study. Before enrolling in some occupational and academic majors, you may need to demonstrate an adequate level of English skills. Because community colleges primarily serve their local areas, most do not have dormitories. There are eleven community colleges with on-campus housing available. Assistance with off-campus rentals is available at most colleges.
