Military and Veteran Resources

UD's local independent chapter of the national Student Veterans of America is a social and service organization, linking UD's student veterans, current service members, and families. SVA sends our members on service oriented trips, supports local veteran organizations, and provides opportunities for veteran students to connect on and off campus.

Contact sva@udayton.edu for more information.

Our comprehensive student success lounge is collocated with our staff offices and service desk. Our space offers a kitchenette, tables and chairs, computer stations, lounge furniture, and a 75” TV that also serves as computer monitor and teleconferencing platform.

On weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., staff at our service desk can answer your calls, emails and walk-in questions.

Two honor parking spaces are available, one at St. Joseph Hall and one at O'Reilly Hall.

• UD Permit Holders
  The honor parking spaces can be used by any valid UD parking permit holders after 4 p.m. on weekdays and throughout the day on weekends. Prior to 4 p.m. on weekdays, a regular UD parking permit will not be valid for the honor parking spaces; reservations must be made.
• Visitors
  Temporary passes for visitors are required weekdays from 7:30 a.m. - 7:30 p.m., and until 4:30 p.m. on Fridays. To obtain a pass, stop by the visitor information booth on College Park or in C Lot.

The State of Ohio has approximately 140 Hidden Heroes: those who care for 100% disabled veterans. To support caregivers who may need to retrain in another career to support their veteran, we offer an undergraduate scholarship to cover 100% of tuition at the University of Dayton.

Note: this scholarship would replace any merit or need-based assistance previously awarded to you by the university.

To learn more about the Hidden Heroes Scholarship, contact vetservices@udayton.edu.
