Centenary University does not engage in any high-pressure recruitment tactics or processes for any member of the student body, including Service Members. Regarding the recruitment at Centenary, all students are recruited through the traditional practice of alerting Centenary of their interest to attend the university. Centenary does not engage in any tactic that is directed or could be viewed as a high-pressure recruitment tactic. Service Members who are interested in enrolling at Centenary, contact the Office of Veteran Affairs to inquire about the Admissions and Enrollment process. Once they have worked with the Admissions office and have completed that process, they will start working to gain eligibility with the VA for chapter Benefits. At no time during this process are Service Members pressured or forced to submit any documents, deposits or enroll without full consent.
