Students called to active military duty before completing their courses have two options. They must indicate their choice in writing to their dean before departure.

1. If the student is close to completion of the course, he or she may request a grade of In Progress (IP). The student then completes the remaining required work when they return. There are no academic or financial penalties associated with a grade of IP. If the student does not complete the work within 90 days of his or her return, the grade of IP will be changed to W (Withdraw) and the student will need to re-register and retake the course.
2. The student may request withdrawal from the course. There are no academic or financial penalties associated with withdrawal from a course under these circumstances. No drop fee will be charged and the student will receive a full tuition refund. The dropped course will not appear on the student’s transcript. The student may re-register and retake the course upon his or her return.
