Withdrawal or Leave of Absence – Military Orders
Based on Public law 117-328 signed on December 29, 2022, a new Section 3691A “Withdrawal or Leave of Absence from Certain Education” was added to Title 38 of the U.S. Code. An enrolled student who is a member of the U.S. Armed Forces (including reserve components) and receives orders “to perform a period of service” (i.e., active duty, inactive duty training or state service) may withdraw from a course without penalty or request a leave of absence. Student is required to contact the Associate Dean, Admissions, Registration, and Records (Registrar’s Office) and provide a signed copy of his or her orders. Students may withdraw from all courses for the semester or request a leave of absence from all courses but cannot mix the two during the same semester. If feasible, the student should provide a signed copy of his or her orders to the Registrar’s Office before departing. In the event the student does not have written orders at the time of withdrawal or requesting a leave of absence, the student should fax a copy of those orders to the Registrar’s Office as soon as possible. If student is unable to do so, the student should contact the Registrar’s office by phone (254-526-1114) or email (SRegistrar@ctcd.edu). All requests must be received no later than 180 days from the course end date.
