Programs to support faculty in terms of their knowledge and understandingFull-time military advisor provides support to faculty concerning active-duty deployment requirements and post-9/11 assignment histories of veteran students. Full-time, mature faculty are integrated into on-base/in-unit course delivery to ensure continued sensitivity to veteran/active-duty experiences.
Military students called to active service return without penalty policyEvery effort is made to enable the student to complete courses in progress. Once the student returns, a Readmission application is completed with the Registrar's office. If the student is in good academic standing, they can meet with an advisor once the Readmission is approved. The academic advisor will help them with planning their academic progress toward degree completion.
Policy concerning students who are involuntarily activated for military serviceEMERGENCY MILITARY RECALL, REACTIVATION,OR DEPLOYMENT: It is McMurry University’s policy to work with all students on an individual basis as they encounter serious and unusual circumstances affecting their educational progress. McMurry University supports our nation’s military efforts and those who currently serve, those who have served, and those who are family members. Therefore, during times requiring recall/reactivation and/or deployment, McMurry University will counsel and plan with the specific student to minimize accompanying inconveniences and maximize academic credit established up to the time the student’s military involvement is required. Upon receipt of notification of a status change, the student should immediately contact the Vice President for Academic Affairs who will assist the student in making the best decisions for the student’s circumstances.
Why this school is an excellent choice for military membersThe faculty, staff and students of McMurry University truly honor the presence of military members in the classroom and appreciate the maturity and presence they bring to the campus. With Dyess AFB nearby, military members are a frequent and welcome part of the campus culture. The university deeply discounts the costs paid by military members. Courses are offered on both the McMurry campus and at Dyess AFB.
