All Medical and Dental Students are charged a Mandatory Student Disability Insurance Fee each Fall
Semester per year of enrollment. If you are a full-time active-duty member of the armed forces of any

assignments such as school.
The office of Military & Veteran Services is located on the Summerville Campus at GRU. Please contact
Michael W. Wilkins, phone # 706-737-1606, [email protected] if you have any questions on the status
of your service and have your military orders available for review. You will need to verify your active
