Armed Forces - Service Related Absences

The College does not have a Leave of Absence Policy. In some instances, and in accordance with the Sprint Non-Registered policy, students may arrange their schedule to allow a five-week break during a single sprint within the term without having to withdraw from the College. Depending on the length of their service, students may be required to withdraw from the institution and re-enter when able to do so.

Students are encouraged to inform their professors in advance of any anticipated service-related absences and work out arrangements for making up missed work.

The College offers the following accommodations for service-related absences: 

  1. Make-up Exams and Assignments: Professors will work with students on a case-by-case basis to ensure they can make-up missed coursework and exams.
  2. Online Learning Options: If applicable, the College may offer online resources and Zoom attendance that allow students to continue their studies remotely during periods of service-related absence.
  3. Involuntary Withdrawal: if applicable, the College may offer the student involuntary withdrawal grades in their current courses.  This grade does not impact grade point average or pace.
  4. Support from Counseling Services: The College offers support for students dealing with the stress and challenges associated with service-related absences. Advocates can provide counseling services and other resources to help manage the emotional impact.
  5. Tuition and fees:  If a student withdraws due to receiving orders for a period of service the College may refund all tuition and fees paid for the term to the appropriate party, including any funds paid towards housing.
