Military Service Deployment

Notification of Military Service

Active duty military students who are called to perform a military service obligation must notify their military advisor or coach of their military service as far in advance as is reasonable under the circumstances. This notice must demonstrate that the interruption to enrollment/attendance is related to fulfilling a military service obligation, but does not have to indicate whether the student intends to return to Strayer.

Grades and Academic Credit

Active duty military students whose attendance is interrupted by military service may petition for an incomplete grade in the affected course(s), provided they meet the other eligibility requirements set forth in Strayer’s Grading and Grade Appeals Policy.

Course Withdrawals and Tuition and Fee Adjustment

A military advisor or coach will work with active-duty military students whose attendance is interrupted by military service to complete the necessary documents for course withdrawals and tuition/fees adjustment for the term per the Special Credit Procedures.

Notification of Intent to Return to School

Active duty military students whose attendance is interrupted by military service must give oral or written notice of their intent to return to the school within three years after the completion of the period of military service to their military advisor, coach, or dean. Students have up to five years after the completion of the period of military service to return to the school without having to requalify for admission. A student who fails to re-enroll within these periods is subject to the University’s general readmission policies.

Re-Enrollment in the University

Active duty military students whose attendance is interrupted by military service will be re-enrolled in their original program of study and placed in the same academic status as at the time of withdrawal. This academic status means being admitted to the same program to which the student was last admitted, unless the student chooses a different program. The student will be enrolled with the same number of credit hours previously completed, unless the student is readmitted to a different program to which any portion of the completed credit hours are not applicable. The student will be readmitted with the same academic standing (GPA). If the University no longer offers the student’s original academic program, the University will work with the student to enroll in an alternative program that aligns with the student’s interests.
