退伍军人服务办公室与财政援助办公室和学院合作，使退伍军人学生和退伍军人家属能够充分利用他们的退伍军人教育福利以及联邦和州的财政援助计划. 退伍军人事务处致力于为退伍军人学生提供一个积极和关怀的社区，建立在分享经验和奉献精神的基础上. 我们致力于为学生提供接受高等教育的机会，并通过确保为学生提供一致和及时的服务来实现职业和专业目标.
The VSO administers federal and state educational benefits programs for eligible veterans and dependents of veterans, serving those who are students at Butte College or who plan to attend Butte. 这些服务包括退伍军人教育福利的认证, 提供校内和校外资源的推荐，包括经济援助, 监督退役军人勤工俭学工作. 监管服务是由美国监管机构指导的.S. Department of 退伍军人事务部 and the California Department of 退伍军人事务部. 加州社区学院校长办公室的学生服务和特别项目办公室提供进一步的指导. VSO还监督退伍军人资源中心(VRC). They are located in the same building to provide veterans with easy 访问 to information and certification, 以及促进那些在武装部队服役过的人的社区意识. 就像经济援助一样, 有关《e世博官方网站》新章节的规定呈指数级增长，而工作人员的数量却保持不变——一名认证官员也负有经济援助责任. 几年来, E世博ESBALL退伍军人服务和退伍军人资源中心(VRC)已经收到了国家和国家的关注模式规划. 这是E世博ESBALL的骄傲，但它已经完成了一个小本，应该由地区基金直接支持. We have seen a steady increase in the number of students served through the VSO over the past two years. 预计退伍军人学生人数将继续增加.

This augmentation may have been approved however, we have not yet received the funding or equipment.
专为顾问准备的办公家具
退伍军人学生现在可以与VRC内的顾问一起访问.
兼职特别节目文员
特别项目办事员为VRC增加了巨大的价值. 这个人一直在帮助我们的退伍军人和退伍军人的家属，在他们注册的过程中提供支持, 退伍军人福利证明和财政援助的完成.
While the development of SLO's for the 退伍军人事务办事处 is still underway, we have identified our outcome; to increase the number of Veterans and dependents of Veterans that apply for and complete the 过程 of financial aid. The VSO recently hired a part-time Special Programs Clerk through 学生权益 funding, their responsibility is to conduct 外展 to our Veteran population that have yet to complete a FAFSA application, 尚未完全完成财政援助程序, 以及最近因经济状况改变而有资格获得援助的退伍军人.
VSO致力于确保我们的退伍军人学生在努力实现他们的教育目标时获得足够和公平的资源. 加上特别项目办事员和退伍军人顾问, 我们相信，我们为退伍军人群体增加额外资源和服务的努力将支持和影响整个大学成就标准和目标.
Our current baseline measures are as follows in 2014-2015 we had 724 students utilizing the VSO services and resources:
FAFSA完成率64%:462
我们的目标是将FAFSA完成率提高20%
文件完成51%:375
我们的目标是让100%的学生提交FAFSA, have their file reviewed and completed for Federal Student Aid eligibility
The VSO has implemented several initiatives that directly support the 战略方向 and Priorities of the college. 我们已经增加了与申请学院并自我认定为退伍军人的学生的联系，告知他们VSO提供的服务和资源. 我们的目标与学院直接一致，通过支持入学和连接重要的服务来支持学生的成功.
我们还通过学期中期对使用VSO服务的学生进行跟踪，以确保他们得到所需的支持, 退伍军人辅导员正在为那些在学业上有困难的学生提供支持和资源，以确保他们达到他们的教育目标.
VSO最近更换了10台实验室计算机.
然而，自2007-2008年以来，VSO没有收到项目审查, 我们正在不断评估这些政策, 过程, 访问, 资源和支持需求的VSO和我们所服务的学生.
退伍军人服务中心的目标是确保通过以下方式满足使用退伍军人服务和资源的学生的需求:
外展
沟通
校园的意识
倡导退伍军人学生的需求
One-stop shop experience by combing VA, Counseling and FA services in one location
提高留校率和毕业率
Strategy 1 - Appropriate Compensation for District VA Certifying Official
确保适当使用分类资金. The salary and benefits for the VA certifying official are covered entirely by categorical funds. 由于该职位的大部分职责范围不在财政援助范围之内，因此地区支付部分费用将是谨慎的做法. We propose that the district cover 50% of the cost while 50% of the cost be covered by BFAP SFAA funds. We feel that this distribution would better meet the intent of the allowable usage guidelines under the BFAP SFAA regulations.
The Chancellor’s Office does not currently provide a dedicated budget to support veterans programs. 在E世博ESBALL, the FAO has historically supported all services for veterans through state financial aid programs funds (BFAP). The VSO and its student program (VRC) have been lauded state-wide as a model program, while the number of students served has increased by 75% over the past 4 years.
The Certifying Official(CO) is paid through Financial Aid Office state funding (BFAP) as a Financial Aid Assitant Senior, and is required to perform financial aid duties as well as those required in the VSO. 这个项目不仅规模扩大了, the scope of its work has increased by the complexity and number of state and federal regulations, 压倒原有的组织和资助模式.
VSO的操作, 随着法规遵从性需求的增加, should be under the oversight of a certifying official with supervisory responsibility.
以持续的服务质量得到了认可, 我们要求(1)将目前的认证官员从FAA II高级级别重新分类为补偿项目现场和员工监督的级别, (2) that 50% of the cost of the certifying official be moved to the District budget, 这将使BFAP资金用于更符合允许使用准则意图的职位，例如粮农组织的行政助理(见FAID单位计划);
策略二-建立地区经费运作预算
为供应品及训练建立地区经费运作预算.
The 退伍军人事务办事处 currently receives no funds from the district for supplies and training. It is imperative that the certifying official stay current on changes to student eligibility, 机构的职责, 以及VA项目的变化.
策略三-电子档案保存
Begin scanning student veteran records as the district converts to Image Now.
Electronic storage of records is efficient and is in line with the districts focus on sustainable practices.
策略四-意识 & 庆祝我们的学生退伍军人
在地区举办活动，庆祝我们的学生退伍军人，并提高他们所面临的独特问题的认识. Awareness would come in the forms of presenations and trainings for faculty, 教职员工和学生，以及我们一年一度的退伍军人节活动.
Veterans face unique issues as the transition from combat to civilian life. Add to that the transition to acadamia and it can be very overwhelming for both the veteran and his/her family. It is imperative that we ensure faculty, staff and students have an awareness of these issues. 退伍军人为校园的多样性带来了独特的视角. 我们大多数即将到来的退伍军人都在其他国家生活了很长时间，体验了那里的文化(食物), 音乐, 政府, 行业, 教育)与这些国家的公民一起.
策略5 -电脑监视器
4个额外的计算机显示器，以支持过渡到Image Now.
Having dual monitors will allow for staff to 访问 and view multiple system requirements while serving students.
策略六:为VSO聘请支援人员
聘请一名兼职的特别项目文员协助e世博官方网站工作, 处理, 外展, 数据录入和校园社区活动.
目前，VSO没有明确的预算来支持它为加强对退伍军人学生的支持和服务而制定的许多举措和目标. Currently the VSO office is dependent on VA Work Studies (Volunteers) that are funded through the VA program, the addition of support staff will allow the VSO to be more visible during community and campus events, 外联工作将大大扩大, and student 成功 will increase due to additional support provided to students. VA Work Study students do not have 访问 to support data entry needs additionally, there is high turnover which leaves the VSO with less than adequate support to meet the overall strategic goals.
