You Served Us, Now Let Us Serve You!

Mission

The Moorpark College Veterans Resource Center (VRC) provides support services focused on the special needs and requirements of today's military veterans, active duty service members, and dependents.  We assist students in transitioning to the college environment and in achieving their academic and personal development goals.

 

Veterans Day Care Package Drive

Care Package Drive November 6 & 7, 2024

Moorpark College Veterans Resource Center will be holding a Care Package Drive in honor of Veterans Day. We will be collecting snacks, books, magazines, and flash drives with movies and tv shows. All to be sent to military members serving around the world.

We will have a table out front of the Vet Center on November 6 & 7 where people can donate as well as help us put boxes together to prepare them for shipment.

People may donate items to the vet to be added to the care packages anytime before November 6 & 7 as well.

Questions or concerns about what kind of items to send please contact Ben Scotti at 805-553-4106 or benjamin_scotti1@vcccd.edu.

 

NEW VETERAN STUDENTS

Please open this link, fill out, and submit this form

(VETERANS ONLY) PLEASE READ BEFORE COMPLETING MOORPARK COLLEGE VETERAN STUDENT INTAKE FORM: As part of the intake form process we at Moorpark College will ask you for a copy of your DD214. You, the veteran, can voluntarily provide us with a copy of your DD214. However, legally speaking, we are not allowed to make DD214's a required document. Bottom line, what we need in order to complete setting you up for benefits is your full name and full social security number. Us and most schools will ask for DD214's because its a single document that provides us with both and gives us the additional benefit of having an official military document on file to confirm your veteran status. If you are not comfortable providing us with a copy of your DD214, open up a blank word document, type out your full name and full social, and attach that document to the box on the intake form for DD214. That will suffice.
