Legal analysis: Yes, veterans can go to college. Veterans who have been admitted to institutions of higher learning before joining the army and have retained their admission qualifications or school status may choose to enroll or resume their studies within 2 years after leaving the army. Those who join the army in higher vocational colleges will take the undergraduate examination after completing their higher vocational studies and implement a separate plan. I have a graduate with a higher vocational (junior college) degree, and I am exempt from taking the adult undergraduate exam after retirement. Those who have not retained their school status can choose adult vocational education, and the state will also give some subsidies.

Legal basis: Article 12 of the Regulations on the Resettlement of Veterans in People's Republic of China (PRC). Before joining the army, conscripts are students who have not graduated from schools (including secondary specialized schools and technical schools). If they want to continue their studies after discharge and meet the learning conditions, their age can be relaxed appropriately, and the original school should allow them to resume their studies next semester after discharge. If the original school has been revoked, merged or it is really difficult to resume studying in the original school for other reasons, I or the original school may apply to the education department at or above the county level to arrange for it to study in the corresponding school.
