Deployment Policy for Students Called to Active Military Service
In order to qualify under the provisions of these policies, a student must present official military orders indicating his/her mobilization or activation to the Registrar or other appropriate college official. The student will then be informed of the procedure to follow.
Academic Grades
Mobilization or activation during a regular semester will result in the complete withdrawal of the student from the college without penalty or a punitive grade.
If the mobilization or activation of a student occurs after the last permissible day to withdraw from the college, the student may choose to withdraw or request an incomplete grade. Under this circumstance, normal Carroll College policy for the award of “Incomplete” grades will apply. These instances will need to be individually contracted and approved by the course instructor/ faculty member, and filed in the Office of the Registrar. The student will not receive a refund for these courses and/or applicable fees.
Student Re-enrollment
Students mobilized or activated while enrolled in Carroll College will have priority placement upon return. The college will make every attempt to place these students back into their academic study track, as closely as possible to the same place the student occupied before they were mobilized or activated. Any readmission application fee will be waived for these students.
Student Account
If the student chooses to fully withdraw from the college, course tuition and fees will be pro-rated and reduced based on federal and institutional aid refund policies outlined in the Carroll College Catalog.
If the student withdraws before 60% of the semester has been completed, Federal Financial Aid and charges will be pro-rated in accordance with the policy as outlined in the Carroll College Catalog. If the student withdraws after he/she has completed 60% of the semester, no Financial Aid or charge adjustments will be necessary.
I. Federal Aid:
Financial Aid is pro-rated for students who withdraw from the college. Federal Financial Aid will be returned in accordance with the Federal Financial Aid return policy:
Federal Financial Aid is pro-rated based on Federal Title IV Regulations: See Return of Federal Title IV Funds Policy.
Note: Federal loan disbursements the student has earned, based on the pro-ration, will enter repayment when a student withdraws from school. Students may contact the loan servicer to postpone payments on their loan accounts.
II. Institutional Aid (Scholarships and Grants):
If the student has received institutional scholarship and grants prior to mobilization and chooses to withdraw from the college, the scholarships and grants will be refunded in accordance with the institutional aid policy outlined in the Carroll College Catalog.
Please note that receiving a refund of tuition and fees from Carroll College may result in a repayment to the Department of Veteran Affairs for any education benefits received during that time.
