This intra-campus and interdepartmental committee serves to address campus issues of access, success, and engagement. The UNCSA Military Student Task Force was established in 2014 to better serve our military affiliated students and provide them with a successful learning experience while studying at UNCSA. The Task Force is a collaboration of faculty, staff, students and administrators throughout campus who are dedicated to advocating for our entire military affiliated population.

For more information, contact Chair TaWanna Archia.

Military Benefits are available to UNCSA students. The Office of the Registrar is the certifying official for veterans' educational benefits. For information on benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, students should visit Veterans Administration Education & Training website.

UNCSA offers a number of Accessibility Resources. The university is committed to providing equal access to all qualified students in pursuit of their educational and artistic endeavors.

As a veteran, you do not need to have a VA disability rating in order to qualify under ADA.

Counseling Services, staffed with licensed counselors available for individual and group sessions, offers students a confidential and secure environment in which to discuss issues ranging from personal problems to life goals. Full-time counselors help students identify stresses, explore acceptable forms of emotional expression and behavior, and establish healthy mental attitudes to facilitate both personal and professional growth.

Health Services are provided by a team consisting of a Board Certified Family Physician, Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, and certified medical assistant. UNCSA partners with Wake Forest Baptist Health Sports Medicine Physicians.
