Veteran Services: Minnesota West is dedicated to assisting veterans and eligible family members in achieving
their educational goals efficiently. Active duty and reserve/guard military members should advise their
instructor of all regularly scheduled military appointments and duties that conflict with scheduled course
requirements. Instructors will make every effort to work with the student to identify adjusted timelines. If you
are a veteran, please contact the Minnesota West Veterans Service Office.
To receive reasonable accommodations for a documented disability, please contact the campus Student Services Advisor or
campus Disability Coordinator as arrangements must be made in advance. In addition, students are encouraged to notify
their instructor.
