I'd normally say the same, except that the Army released his officer record, and it indicates that he graduated Va Tech in 1997. Both VT and the archives of the local paper, the Roanoke Times, indicate he graduated in 1995.
And his record indicates ROTC service, whereas VT says there is no record.
Universities aren't slackards at record-keeping, since a graduate's future depends on an accurate record, and I see no reason for them to lie about it.
That brings up the question of why those two years may make a difference. His officer records indicates he earned a basic MD in 2001. The standard U.S. medical school curriculum is four years long.
Well, maybe he was enlisted. Look at this link.

Accused Army killer attended Barstow College, records show
The soldier accused of killing 13 people and wounding 30 others at Fort Hood, Texas, on Thursday attended Barstow Community College from spring 1989 to spring 1990, college records show.
Maj. Nidal M. Hasan was a straight-A student and on the dean’s list at the college, said Maureen Stokes, the public information officer at the school.
He took six classes and earned 19 credit hours. His classes - all basic courses - were English, history, sociology, math, political science and biology.
Hasan’s official transcript indicates he was an enlisted man, an E-3, at Fort Irwin at the time but John Wagstaffe, public affairs officer at the Fort, said Army records for Hasan only go back to 1995.
“Our records indicate that he was not at Fort Irwin,” Wagstaffe said, “but we are still checking other possibilities.”
Stokes said the college records show that Hasan attended the classes at the college’s satellite campus on the Fort. She said the records also show he was an undergrad and was undeclared for a major.
Otherwise, Stokes said, “Our records are pretty sterile and generic.”
