Students Called to Active Duty

If you have been called to report for active duty, you may be eligible to complete your coursework at a later time. Otherwise, please use the checklist below to withdraw from the University.

For additional assistance, please contact the appropriate department from the contacts listed at the bottom of this page.

Options for Completing Coursework

• If your orders are for annual training, you can officially request postponement until the following term. The School Certifying Official can assist in preparing your request.
• Meet with your department advisor. Based on your specific courses, you may be eligible for an Incomplete Grade*, or your professor may deem an early examination is appropriate.
  *Students receiving an Incomplete Grade are not eligible for a refund of academic fees.
