Military Service Withdrawal

A student that withdraws from the University to enter active military service must withdraw through the Office of the University Registrar (107 Moulton Hall). The student is responsible for sending to the University Registrar, within 10 days after his or her last day of class attendance, evidence proving he/she was inducted into active military service.

The Office of the University Registrar will indicate on the withdrawal form that the reason for withdrawal is "active military service." The Registrar's Office will send a copy of this evidence to the Office of Student Affairs, and upon completion of the withdrawal process, other university offices will be notified as appropriate.

The student is responsible for returning any laboratory equipment and library materials, paying any parking fines, and removing parking decals from registered vehicles.  

Withdrawal Deadline

Withdrawal Prior to the Deadline

Should the student withdraw prior to the Military Service Withdrawal Deadline for the term, the student will receive a full refund of tuition and fees, except for the health insurance fee, and will be eligible to re-enroll in the courses at a later date. Upon withdrawal from the courses and receipt of a full refund, the courses will be removed from the student's record.

Upon re-enrollment in the courses, the student will be granted a priority registration status over other students seeking to enroll in the courses.

Withdrawal After the Deadline

Should the student withdraw after the Military Service Withdrawal Deadline, the student may be eligible to receive full credit for coursework completed with his or her instructor's and department's approval. Any grade awarded to a student withdrawing after the deadline will be based on work completed by the student at his or her withdrawal date.  

• If the instructor and / or department determines that a grade can be awarded, grades are to be reported on the response portion of the Military Service Withdrawal letter that the instructor will receive from the Office of the University Registrar. The student's final grades will also be available via the iCampus Portal the day following the grade submission deadline.
• If the instructor and / or department determines that a grade cannot be awarded, the Registrar will notify the student of this decision. The student will receive a full refund of tuition and fees, except for the health insurance fee, and will be eligible to re-enroll in the courses at a later date. Upon withdrawal from the courses and receipt of a full refund, the courses will be removed from the student's record. Upon re-enrollment, the student will be granted a priority registration status over other students seeking to enroll in the courses.

Re-Enrollment In Dropped Course(s)

Upon readmission to the university, the re-enrollment process for courses dropped due to a military withdrawal will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Students should contact the Registrar Service Center (RSC) at (309) 438-2188 to confirm their priority registration status for the individual courses.
