Military Leave for Students on Active or Inactive Duty

Members of the State or National Guard, Reserve, or active United States Military, who are called to active or inactive duty (e.g. drill, annual training) will not be penalized for that service. Students who withdraw due to military obligations will be permitted to renenroll in their original program, with their prior academic standing retained and without any academic or financial penalties. When a military student is notified of being called to duty, the student must notify all instructors and Veteran and Military Student Services.

Students activated may have different options, depending on the time of semester the student is called to duty and length of duty. In consultation with the student’s faculty member, options may include:

• Completion of any missed work without penalty to their grade provided that satisfactory academic progress is being made,
• Drop
• Withdrawal
• Administrative Withdrawal
• Incomplete

The student is required to present proof of training schedule, official orders or letter from the service member’s unit to Veteran and Military Student Services. Veteran and Military Student Services will then contact each instructor and obtain the requirements for course completion. The requirements will be sent to the student and kept on file.
