Withdrawal from University for Military Duty

WPO 5.14-4 Withdrawal from University for Military

If a student withdraws due to military mobilization, the following policy should be implemented.

Withdrawal Procedure

Normal withdrawal procedures should be followed whenever possible.  However, if students are unable to complete the necessary paperwork by coming into the office of registration and records in Cass Hall or writing a letter of withdrawal, the University shall accept notification from the student or a family member.  All notifications will be verified by the office of registration and records.  Military paperwork would be required as proof of military service within 30 days of withdraw request.

Refunds

Students will receive 100% of their required student fees when they officially withdraw for required military service any time during the current semester.  Should students have financial aid, any refund must be paid back to the aid source(s) first.  Students should contact the office of financial aid for more information.  Students drawing Veterans Administration (VA) educational benefits should contact the Veteran Services and notify the VA Certifying Official of their withdrawal and orders to report for duty.  Students shall receive a full refund for textbooks purchased at and returned to the Drago College Store.  The housing refund will be prorated based on the number of days room and board was actually used.
