Coastline's Military Student Advisors (MSA)

MSA are available near installations, at various locations in local military-base communities, by phone, and by email. In some cases, students have the option of meeting with a MSA via Coastline's online platform. Students may contact any MSA for assistance. If you do not see an MSA located in your immediate area, please contact our office for assistance. Our home campus staff will answer your questions, and they will be able to refer you to an MSA for on-going support services.
