Students Called to Active Military Duty

If a student is a military service member and is called to active duty during an academic term, then the student may request one of two options in regard to his/her coursework.

• The first option is to officially withdraw and receive a 100% tuition and fee refund.
• The second option is to be issued an incomplete grade for the course. The student will be extended a reasonable period of time to complete the course requirements. A reasonable period of time will be determined by the instructor in conjunction with the dean or associate dean of the academic division in which the course is held.

To request option one, the student must present proof of the call to active duty status to the Student Records Office and must also complete the College's schedule change form. Proof of the call to active duty will be determined legitimate by the Dean of Student Development and Registrar.

To request option two the student must present proof of the call to active duty status to the instructor(s) of the class(es) and must also discuss the remaining course requirements with instructor(s). It is the instructors' prerogative to either approve the request or to refer the student to option one.

Members of the Ohio National Guard are eligible to receive a 100% tuition and general scholarship. If an Ohio National Guard member is called to active duty and the scholarship program has paid the tuition and fees, then the refund would be issued to the scholarship program.

If the service member was receiving federal or state financial assistance, the appropriate return of financial aid will be calculated.
