If students attended any other colleges or universities while away from UM-Flint, they must arrange for those official transcripts to be sent to the Office of Admissions. Students who are absent as a result of active duty military service will remain under the academic catalog effictive for the program of study at the time of their departure from the University.

Policy concerning students who are involuntarily activated for military service
The student must provide the campus Certifying Official with an official copy of the active duty orders. The CO will then council the veteran on their options, which include: 1)speaking with course instructors about allowing the student to complete the course requirements online 2) the student can take incomplete grades, if agreed upon with the course instructor, and complete the course requirements upon return to the University 3) The student will be disenrolled (or drop individual courses) for the semester. The student will not be subject to financial penalties. All debt for the semester is cancelled and if the student’s tuition and fees have been paid, all money is refunded. The campus bookstore has also agreed to work with students called to active duty to assist with getting a fair buyback or refund for their books, depending upon factors to be determined by individual texts.
