Abstract	Student veterans experience unique challenges when returning to higher education. While the Post-9/11 GI bill creates an easier pathway for veterans, student veterans often face multiple impediments to degree completion. Using the Veterans Supplement of the Current Population Survey, we conducted a logistic regression of 4,887 veterans that predicts college retention measured by bachelor's degree completion using six study variables of physical, sensory, and mental challenges (concentration, hearing, eyesight, walking, dressing, and going out). We conclude only difficulty hearing and walking significantly decreased the odds of bachelor's degree completion. Recommendations for campus-student-support services are explored. (As Provided).
