Course Incompletion Due to Call to
Active Military Duty
Students called to active military duty before completing their courses
have two options. They must indicate their choice in writing to a dean,
before departure.
1. If the student is close to completion of the course, he or she may make
arrangements with the program director to complete the course or
request a grade of Incomplete (I). The student then completes the
remaining required work when they return. There are no academic or
financial penalties associated with a grade of “I”. If the student does not
complete the work within 90 days of his or her return, the grade of “I”
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 course will be removed
from the transcript.
