Veterans Resource Center
The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) is a center for veterans, current or former military personnel, their family members or significant others. Veterans can get information on benefits, relax between classes, use computers, study or just get together and talk.
VRC Brooklyn Park, Room H165, (763) 488-2529, vrc-bp@hennepintech.edu
VRC Eden Prairie, Room H160, (952) 995-1509, vrc-ep@hennepintech.edu
Veteran students can apply for VA education benefits with the help of the VRC student workers. For more complicated cases, students can work with one of the MN VA Higher Ed Regional Coordinators who are available by appointment.

Call to Active Duty
If you are called to active duty in the middle of a semester, you must present your order to active duty and complete the HTC Add/Drop form. Your registration will then be cancelled and a full tuition refund will be processed.
