Collin College

Welcome

The Veterans Resource Center (VRC) at Collin College connects students with resources designed to ensure a smooth transition into college and foster academic success.

Veterans are welcomed and encouraged to utilize the study area and computer stations at the center. Spending time in the VRC also provides students the opportunity to network with other individuals who have served.
