Military students called to active service return without penalty policy
As a military friendly school Medaille College has established a withdrawal policy for students called to active duty. If you are called to active duty as a result of the events of September 11th, 2001, Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom Afghanistan or any other call to active duty, you are encouraged to withdraw from all Medaille College courses. Medaille's military withdrawal policy allows you to do so without penalty. And if you cannot arrange to stay enrolled online while you are gone, you don't have to worry about readmission. If you have not taken classes elsewhere you have up to 24 months to re-enroll in classes without having to reapply. That means you can enroll online even while you are deployed.

Why this school is an excellent choice for military members
Medaille College prides itself on providing veterans and service members with the quality service they earned and deserve.
