Veterans & Military Affairs: Resources

The staff of the Student Success Center is committed to helping students take charge of their success at the University of Tennessee. Through academic support programs such as tutoring, supplemental instruction, academic coaching, and other educational enhancement programs, as well as our website and referral to the university’s other excellent curricular and co-curricular resources, the staff promotes undergraduate student excellence and persistence to graduation.

Our staff members provide a variety of services for students, including:
- Walk-in sessions
- Crisis intervention
- Group, individual, and couples counseling

Career Services is here to help you with resume writing, interviewing, career counseling and assessment and employment (part-time, full-time, and internships).

The ODS (Office of Disability Services) assists students with documented disabilities by determining their eligibility for services and then working with students to determine reasonable accommodations and services which will, in turn, give the student equal access to the University. It is important for students to remember that it is their responsibility to request disability services in the post-secondary setting, and they can start the process here at ODS.

The Vet Counseling Center serves veterans and their families by providing a continuum of quality care. This includes professional readjustment counseling, community education, outreach to special populations, the brokering of services with community agencies, and providing a key access link between the veterans and other services in the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Counseling services include individual readjustment counseling, group meetings and counseling, military sexual trauma counseling, bereavement counseling, marital and family counseling, substance abuse and referral and connections with other community agencies.

The William C. Tallent Outpatient Clinic in Knoxville, Tennessee provides health care to veterans and entry into the VA health care system. The clinic examines, evaluates, and provides treatment to eligible veterans. Although designated for outpatient services only, referrals are made to an appropriate medical center when specialists or hospitalization is medically indicated.
