SUBJECT: Students Called to Active Military Duty

 As you may be aware, some XXU students are being called for active
military duty.  The tuition refund policy in the XX Academic Year Fee
Book 2002-2003 states that "any student with orders to report for active
military duty may withdraw at any time during the term and receive a
full refund.  If sufficient course work has been accomplished and the
instructor feels justified in granting credit for the course work
completed, credit may be granted and withdrawal proceedings are
unnecessary."

The Office of the Registrar in conjunction with academic advisers will
work with students on a case-by-case basis, looking at each request in
an independent manner.  In general students called to active military
duty have the following options:

* Full withdrawal from all courses at any point during the term without
academic or financial penalty.  Tuition would be refunded in full.

* Partial withdrawal from some (but not all) courses at any point during
the term without academic or financial penalty.  Students who have
completed a significant portion of their coursework may be eligible to
a) receive the grades earned in courses up to that point in time and/or
b) request incomplete grades according to existing guidelines.  Tuition
would be refunded for withdrawn courses.

* No withdrawal from any courses.  Students who have completed a
significant portion of their coursework may be eligible to a) receive
the grades earned in courses up to that point in time and/or b) request
incomplete grades according to existing guidelines.  No tuition would be
refunded.

Decisions as to which option is best for the student will depend on the
student's personal details, the time remaining in the term, the portion
of coursework completed at the time of military activation, and
understandings which can be reached with instructors.  Please contact
the Office of the Registrar (Ph.#XX) with any questions.
