Thank You For Your Service!

At Cape Cod Community College, it is our privilege to assist veterans in taking advantage of the numerous educational opportunities available through the GI Bill® and other programs. Regardless of whether you are a new student, a returning student or transferring to our campus from another institution, we are here to help you find the resources you need to make the most out of your time at 4Cs.

4Cs Veterans Center

Cape Cod Community College Military and Veteran Students are encouraged to take advantage of the newly renovated 4Cs Veterans Center. Located on the second floor of the Wilkens Library, the Veterans Center offers a relaxing environment for veterans to study, network, or grab a cup of coffee in between classes.
