If a student is required to be absent due to military duties for a period that may affect the student’s ability to complete required course interactions, the following procedure shall apply:
Once a student is aware of a call to duty, the student shall provide a copy of the military orders to the Veterans Resource Center (VRC) within the Office for Student Success. The student shall also provide the VRC with a list of their courses and instructors.
The VRC will verify the orders with the appropriate military authority and, on behalf of the military student, notify each Instructor of Record via department letterhead as to the known extent of the absence.
The Instructor of Record shall not penalize the student’s absence in any way. The instructor shall provide accommodations and time frames so the student can make up missed assignments, quizzes and tests in a mutually agreed upon manner.
