What to Do if You Are Called for Active Duty During a Semester

If you think that you may be called to active duty during a semester, it's a best practice to introduce yourself to your instructor at the beginning of the semester and share that you are active duty. If you know of potential trainings or moves, let them know then. It's better to overcommunicate to ensure any adjustments can be made. 

If you're called to active duty during a semester or session, you should initiate a military withdrawal with the Registrar’s Office. You won't be charged tuition for the semester of withdrawal, and you'll be eligible for military re-enrollment to the University, which assures you access to the same major and location assigned at the time of withdrawal. There’s normally a re-enrollment fee, but this will be waived if you're re-enrolling after completing a military withdrawal.

Additionally, the Office of Student Aid and the Bursar's Office will be notified automatically by the Registrar after they have processed your paperwork.
