At Cal Poly, we understand and appreciate the dedication of our veterans, service members, and military dependents. We've built a welcoming and supportive environment just for you. The Center for Military-Connected Students (CMCS) is your go-to resource, providing comprehensive support to help you thrive. We're here to guide you with academic advising, connect you with valuable resources, and foster a strong community of fellow military-connected students. Our team is committed to ensuring you maximize your military education benefits and access all the support you need on campus and beyond.

We're making it even easier to get the support you need! Our Virtual Center allows you to connect with us from anywhere during our open hours. Whether you're a current student, a supporter, or thinking about applying to Cal Poly, you can drop in and chat with our team.
