Military students called to active service return without penalty policyA UCD student who receives orders calling him/her to report for active military duty should provide a copy of those orders (including the date in which the orders were made and the reporting date) to the Associate Dean or to the Advising Office of the student’s school or college. The Associate Dean/Advising Office will provide a copy of the orders and written official leave of absence request to the Office of Records and to the Office of Financial Aid, if the student has a scholarship or other financial aid. The Associate Dean/Advising Office will notify the faculty members in all courses in which the student is enrolled and will assist with arrangement of course completion options and a written official leave of absence (if needed). Should the student not be
capable of providing a copy of such orders to the Associate Dean or the Advising Office due to the immediacy of the military assignment, he or she must submit their official orders upon return to school

However, students should be discouraged from taking more than one incomplete. Administrative Matters 1.A student who is forced by virtue of military orders to drop selected courses or withdraw from a term should receive a 100% refund of any tuition the student has paid for the courses dropped or withdrawn. Refunds of tuition paid by financial aid will be handled by the Bursars.
