Veteran Services
The mission for Massasoit’s Veterans Services is to honor and support our service members both current and former as well as their families by providing the most comprehensive and caring college experience possible while helping them to reach their educational, personal and professional goals.
Massasoit Community College is approved for the training of veterans and their dependents. The College maintains an Office of Veterans Services located in the Student Center, Room SC118 on the Brockton Campus. Veterans are assisted in obtaining educational benefits, work study positions, tutorial help, and other services.
Enrolled students should visit our Veterans Center portal page to complete the Military Eligibility Benefit Informational Form.
Veterans or dependents eligible for assistance under the Veterans Administration programs should contact the Office of Veterans Services after they are matriculated (enrolled) into a degree program at Massasoit and are ready to register for their classes.
Massasoit Community College under S2248 PL 115-407 will not enforce any penalties for any late payments or any other penalties against a veteran, dependent or eligible individual. Any portion of the student bill not covered by VA benefits is still expected to be settled by the due date.
Note: The 2019‐2020 College Catalog for Massasoit Community College was modified on January 6, 2020 to add the following policy, which appears on page 46.
