Called to Active Duty

If you are called to active duty or receive emergency activation/full deployment orders to active duty during a semester in progress or after admission but prior to the start of the term for which you are admitted, please notify the Director of the Office of Veteran Services. This can be done in person or via email. The active duty orders must include the date you are to report for duty and the length of time of service. The official documentation is required in order to receive a military withdrawal. A military withdrawal results in the assignment of “W” for all classes, which does not factor into the GPA and allows for a full refund of tuition and fees. Military withdrawal may impact Satisfactory Academic Progress and may adversely affect federal and state financial aid. You cannot receive a military withdrawal or a refund for semesters that have already been completed. Standard or scheduled military training exercises do not qualify or meet the above established policy guidelines for obtaining a military withdrawal during any semester. Please contact the Academic Success and Advising Center to initiate the process to formally withdraw from the university.

Centenary University will waive the advance notice requirement if such notice is precluded by military necessity (classified mission, operation, or exercise, etc.). If you did not submit advance notice previously you can, subsequently, submit it at the time of readmission. Documentation must attest to uniformed service that necessitated absence from the University.
