Therefore, all students who are enrolled in full-time degree or certificate programs must carry comprehensive health protection meeting the specific minimum benefit standards listed below. To satisfy this requirement, students may obtain coverage through the MCG recommended student group plan or maintain equivalent health care insurance through an alternative plan. Annual certification of health insurance coverage is required. The Medical College of Georgia Office of Student Financial Aid assists students in financial planning for meeting educational expenses. Financial assistance includes loans, scholarships and part-time employment.
Academic scholarships are also available.
These are awarded by the School of Medicine Scholarship Committee. Unless otherwise mandated by state or federal regulations, students who officially withdraw from college will receive a refund of matriculation fees at the end of the semester in which the withdrawal is made. The refund of matriculation fees is limited to withdrawal from the institution and not for dropping of individual courses. This deposit will be credited toward first-semester matriculation fees. Accepted applicants who fail to appear for registration and who fail to notify the admissions office of their withdrawal in writing before the first day of regular registration for their entering class shall forfeit their acceptance deposit.
