A dedicated space
The center is a lounge and study space set aside for veterans, active-duty, guard and reserve students and dependents using education benefits, with a peer community that does not require explaining a military background from scratch every time.
Benefits certification
A dedicated certifying official on site handles GI Bill and other VA education benefit paperwork each term, coordinates with the Registrar and Bursar so certified benefits post correctly, and helps translate military training into transfer credit where it applies.
In and around Porter Falls
Support at Porter is deliberately clustered on the first two levels of Halvorsen Library so a student can move from one kind of help to another without leaving the building or re-explaining the situation. Walk-in hours run late Monday through Thursday during the semester, and everything can also be booked through MyPorter.
The practical details
Location: Founders Union, Room 110. Serves: Veterans, active duty, guard/reserve and dependents using benefits. Certifying official: On-site VA benefits certification. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Student Success Center (Halvorsen Library, Level 1). Call (715) 555–0170 or email success@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
