Veterans Preference

The University of Northern Iowa provides for veterans preference to qualified veterans as required by Iowa Code Chapter 35C. To request veterans preference you must provide official documentation for military service or proof of Disabled Veteran status. Official documentation for military service is a DD214 and official documentation for Disabled Veteran status is a Veterans Administration (VA) disability rating sheet and/or letter stating disability status from the VA.

You may upload your official documentation during the application process or submit it via email, fax, U.S. Mail or personal delivery. If you have previously provided your official documentation, you do not need to provide it again. All submissions of official documentation other than the upload option must include your name, phone number, and title of the position(s) you are applying and requesting veterans preference for.

When submitting documentation via email or fax, we suggest you protect your personal information by striking through the Social Security number on the copy being transmitted to UNI. Or contact us at the email below to request a secure link be sent to you for transmitting your documentation.
