RE: Information Concerning Students who are Called to Military Service

DATE: September 19, 2001

Due to the recent terrorist attacks, it is possible that some students in the National Guard and Reserves will be called to active duty. The
University recognizes and appreciates the important contributions made in service of our country by these men and women. In support of these students, the University has developed procedures to provide each student with maximum flexibility. Consistent with the policy developed during the Middle East crisis of 1990, students have the following options:
  1. Withdraw the entire registration and 100% of the tuition and mandatory fees would be rescinded.
  2. If arrangements are made with the instructor for grades of Incomplete (to be made up later) in the courses, the registration would remain intact and tuition and mandatory fees would be assessed in full.
  3. If arrangements are made with only some of the instructors for grades of Incomplete, the registration for those courses would remain intact and tuition and mandatory fees would be assessed for those courses. Any courses for which arrangements cannot be made for grades of Incomplete could be dropped and the tuition and mandatory fees for those courses would be rescinded.

The option the student chooses obviously depends on the point in the session when the student is called to active duty. Financial aid is
refunded in accordance with existing University and Federal policies for each of the above situations. These procedures do not apply to reservists who are fulfilling their annual two-week active duty.
