For Military Students

Students called to active military duty

Students who are called to active military duty during an academic term are eligible for three possible options listed below. Students receiving financial aid are strongly encouraged to meet with a financial aid counselor before choosing one of the options below, as they impact financial aid differently.

  1. The student may choose to withdraw from the institution, retroactive to the beginning of the academic term, with a full refund of tuition and fees for that term, in accordance with Section 824 of the Military and Veterans Code.  Please see the Withdrawal from the University section of this catalog for further information on the withdrawal process.
  2. If at least 75% of the term has been completed, the student may choose to request that the instructor assign a final grade for the course based on the work the student has completed.  The instructor shall make the final decision as to whether to grant the student's request.
  3. If the instructor assigns a grade of Incomplete for the course, the student is allowed a minimum of four weeks after returning to the institution to complete the course requirements.*  Additional time may be granted if alternative arrangements are made with the instructor, and provided that the alternative arrangements are consistent with the requirements of Section 824 of the Military and Veterans Code.

*If the active military duty extends beyond one academic year, and/or if the original instructor of the course is no longer teaching at the university when the student returns, alternate arrangements will be made for the student to complete the course or select another option.
