Pat Tillman Veterans Center
ASU’s Pat Tillman Veterans Center is one of the reasons ASU is a top university for veteran, military and dependent students. The center’s mission is to empower and engage our ASU military and veteran community with their academic and personal success here at ASU and beyond.
Campuses and ASU Online
ASU options let you choose the best learning environment for you, from a location known for outdoor adventures and one-on-one attention (ASU at Lake Havasu) to highly ranked ASU Online with the same degrees and professors as our on-campus programs to a large traditional campus (Tempe campus) — and everything in between (Downtown Phoenix, Polytechnic and West campuses).
Are you looking for a veteran application to ASU?
We make it easy — there’s no separate application for veteran and military applicants. Just submit the application for your student level.

Military transcripts
ASU accepts the following military transcripts:
- CCAF Transcript (Community College of the Air Force Transcript)
- JST (Joint Services Transcript)
The CCAF is a regionally accredited community college. If you received credit for courses taken through the CCAF while serving in the Air Force, submit this transcript as part of your undergraduate application. The JST will be reviewed for possible transfer credit but is not evaluated for admission. Submit your JST as early as possible for timely evaluation, but it will not delay your admission decision.

Pat Tillman's life and legacy live on at ASU
Pat Tillman was an ASU student scholar and star football player who graduated in 3½ years and went on to play professionally with the Arizona Cardinals. In 2002, Pat walked away from a $3.6 million contract with the Cardinals to enlist in the U.S. Army. He died while serving in Afghanistan in 2004.
As a scholar, athlete and soldier, Pat Tillman performed at his best. ASU continues to honor Pat with the annual Pat’s Run, the Pat Tillman Veterans Center, Tillman Tunnel and in countless other ways. His passion for life and expectations of excellence reverberate through everything we do.
