If you are required to change academic plans as a result of military activation or mobilization, the University will work with you to ensure that you are either able to complete your remaining coursework or withdraw from courses without academic prejudice or financial obligation.
If classes are in progress and you wish to explore options for completion, discuss this with your instructors. At the instructor’s discretion, the following options may be available:
If you are unable to complete current courses, you should contact the Service Center. The Service Center will assist you with withdrawing form classes and receiving a full credit of your tuition and fee charges. You will be asked to submit documentation of your active duty assignment at the time of your withdrawal. This will assist us in addressing any issues that may arise in your absence. It will also help us expedite procedures upon your return.
