Military Leave of Absence Policy

Military Leave of Absence

Students called to active duty while enrolled in the University should contact the School Certifying Official in the Registrar's Office and their program director. Students must present documentation. Students wishing to obtain a Military Leave of Absence may be offered the following options after the program director confers with financial aid, instructors, and other University officials:

  • Withdrawing from the courses with a full tuition refund or tuition credit, in accordance with University and government guidelines.
  • If a student completed at least 70% of the coursework and upon recommendation of his/her dean, the student may elect to take incompletes and make special arrangements for course completion with individual instructors.
  • Students are eligible to return within one year following active duty. However, the degree requirements may have changed, and the student may be required to comply with degree program requirements in effect at the time of their return to the University.
