Guidelines for Reservists and National Guardsmen Called to Active Duty
Consistent with MnSCU Board Policy 5.12.1, a student who is a member of any branch of the U.S. military reserves, who is unable to complete a course or courses due to active duty call-up shall be offered the following course cancellation and/or completion options. In all cases, the student is required to provide the college with a copy of his/her call-up papers.
- A student may receive a 100% refund of tuition and fees. A student receiving financial aid who chooses this option is required to repay 100% of grants and loans (not work study) that has been disbursed for the term.
- An instructor may agree to assign the student an incomplete (an Agreement of Incomplete Form needs to be completed) even though less than 75% of the coursework has been completed.
- If, in the instructor's judgment, a student has completed sufficient coursework to earn a grade of C or better, the instructor may assign credit (a grade) for completion of a course.
- A student who does not find one of the first three options suitable, may withdraw from the course. A withdraw request will be honored even if the withdrawal deadline has passed.
Additionally, it's a good idea for financial aid recipients to check in with the Financial Aid Office--specifically anyone who received the Minnesota State Grant. You can reach us at 763-433-1500.
