Withdrawal for Active Military Service
If a student who is in the Reserves or National Guard withdraws due to being ordered to active duty for purposes other than training, the university, at the student’s option, shall:
- refund the tuition and fees paid by the student for the semester in which the student withdraws;
- grant a student, who is eligible under the institution’s guidelines, an incomplete grade in all courses by designating “withdrawn-military” on the student’s transcript; or
- as determined by the instructor, assign an appropriate final grade or credit to a student who has satisfactorily completed a substantial amount of coursework and who has demonstrated sufficient mastery of the course material. (See Excused Absences for Active Military Service)
Students must provide a copy of their official orders, or a statement from their commanding officer, to the Military and Veteran Success Center (MVSC) as part of exercising a withdrawal under this policy.
Active duty students who deploy in the normal course of their duties for a period of more than 30 days should contact the MVSC to discuss their options for continuing their classes or withdrawing under the above policy.
