VES Forms and Descriptions

To enhance transparency and improve the workflow experience, the Office of the Registrar now offers students the ability to track their form submissions in WEBSIS under "Service Request". This process, powered by Smartsheet Dynamic View, allows students to monitor the progress of their submitted forms from start to finish. Effective Monday, March 30th, the Veterans Engagement Services forms will now be visible and accessible in WEBSIS under Service Requests on a new VES Student Veteran Dashboard. 

The dashboard will include all form updates on missing documentation, processing timelines, access to resources, scholarship information, and the latest VA/DoD updates and VES News. Students will be required to log into "SmartSheet" using their Morgan credentials to complete the forms listed below.
