Explore your potential and define your success.
SVA’s Advising Center provides specialized and personalized academic and career coaching, tools and support to transitioning service members, veterans, and their families. Find your path and maximize your education benefits with early guidance.
The Advising Center enriches the lives of service members and their families as they transition to civilian life through the transformative power of higher education. Start developing a comprehensive path to success early in transition, or even during military service. The SVA Advising Center also provides services and support to those who have already transitioned out of the military but have not yet considered higher education.
As one of SVA’s newest initiatives, the Advising Center will continue to be enhanced and improved – so be sure to visit often to explore the latest updates and features.
To utilize the Advising Center benefits and tools all students must create a MySVA portal account. If you do not have a portal account, create one today!
Explore how academic degree majors connect to career fields. Full access to the tool is in MySVA portal.
