Student Support

* UB SDS Students speaking with admitted students.

Pursuing a DDS degree requires a substantial investment of time, effort, intellectual energy and financial resources. At UB, we are keenly aware (and appreciative) of these investments. Whether you need help adjusting to dental school, or you just need someone to talk to, we’re here for you.

Military & Veteran Programs

Although not listed as a current VA Yellow Ribbon participant, UB proudly offers students tuition benefits commensurable to those of the Yellow Ribbon program.

The VA Yellow Ribbon Program generally provides additional funding for students who are charged out-of-state tuition. Provisions in the Veteran Access to Care Act of 2014 require all public universities, such as UB, to offer in-state tuition to honorably discharged veterans and eligible dependents. Students must submit the Residency Application for New York State Tuition Purposes—Military form to the Student Accounts office in order to receive this benefit.

Personal Safety & Security

Your University Police strive to provide police services that meet the specialized needs of our diverse and vibrant university community. Our key services include emergency response, crime prevention, criminal investigation and personal safety education. We are an internationally accredited police agency.
