Veteran Services at FLCC
Finger Lakes Community College recognizes the sacrifices of those who serve in the United States Armed Forces. We are grateful for the service student veterans provide to our country, and we are committed to making the transition from the military to the classroom a successful one.
Military Friendly Campus
FLCC is proud to be a military friendly school, and has been recognized by VIQTORY as Military Friendly® every year since achieving this designation in 2014.
With the Military Friendly designation, you are are assured that FLCC meets or exceeds expectations as surveyed by current and past attendees.
We are here to support you and your family as you navigate the transition to the classroom.
In order to do that, we execute support services within three areas:
- Securing as much college credit as possible for military services and training.
- Securing maximum benefits for you and/or your dependents.
- Connecting you with other veterans and outside agencies for continual support.
College Credit for Military Service
You've worked hard in the military—now you can save tuition dollars and classroom time! It’s possible that your service in the military has earned you college credit. Finger Lakes Community College awards military students credit toward a degree based on training, coursework, and occupational specialty.
In-State Tuition
If you are a veteran that recently relocated to New York State and are unable to get a Certificate of Residence, you may qualify for in-state tuition.
Contact the Financial Aid Office for more information.
Veteran Benefits
If you are a veteran, or a survivor or dependent of a veteran, you may be eligible for veterans educational benefits. Services offered include application for educational benefits, student job placement, tutorial assistance and services for disabled veterans.

Connecting Veterans to Veterans
Connect with other veterans who have been successful in leveraging their military service to further their education.
