Policy concerning students who are involuntarily activated for military serviceStudents may withdraw from all courses in which they are enrolled as of the effective date of the orders to report to active duty. When this option is selected, a full credit of all tuition and fees will be made to the student's account. Students will receive a pro-rated credit of dining service and housing contract charges. Financial aid awards that were credited to student’s accounts will be recovered by the university in the amount of tuition and fees, dining, or housing credit. Loans used to cover the remaining charges will be subject to normal repayment procedures. For students receiving Title IV funds, financial aid recovery will be subject to requirements for return of Title IV funds to the federal government.
Why this school is an excellent choice for military membersThe veterans and military members living, working, and receiving their education at George Mason University are a valued and vital component of our campus community. Mason recognizes and honors their sacrifices and values their life experiences as they broaden the diversity of our staff, faculty, and student body. The Office of Military Services at George Mason University assists veterans, guardsmen, reservists, and others receiving U.S. military benefits in making a successful transition into the George Mason community. The Office of Military Services understands personally that the transition to student life can be challenging, yet rewarding, and are dedicated to providing the services you need to successfully navigate this transition. In addition to the Office of Military Services, the Registrar’s Office assists eligible students in securing thier VA education benefits by certifying their enrollment hours once they have submitted the online Veteran Registration Reporting Form (VRRF) and also assists students in appealing their domicile status.
