Gwynedd Mercy University 2026-2027 University Catalog
II. Reenrollment for service members after a military service obligation: 1. Students will be promptly reenrolled with the same academic status when last in attendance or last admitted, subject to paragraphs 2 and 3 below. The University will make reasonable efforts at no extra cost to the students to help them become prepared or to enable the student to complete their program. However, if it is determined after reasonable efforts that any such student is unable to complete their program or resume their program at the point where they left off, GMercyU is not required to readmit the student upon their return.
2. Students will be promptly reenrolled if the cumulative length of the absence and of all previous absences by reason of service in the uniformed services does not exceed five years. Students whose previous absences cumulatively exceed five years are subject to the established reenrollment policy and procedures.
3. Students who seek reenrollment will provide the University Registrar with documentation to establish that the student has not exceeded the service limitation of total cumulative absence of five years.
4. Additional Services: Graduate students who need an extension or adjustment to their programs due to military service obligations should contact their academic program director. Students should speak with their Veteran Certifying Official in the Financial Aid Office to see how their benefits may be affected.
Religious Observances
It is the policy of the University to respect the observance of major religious holidays. Where scheduling conflicts prove unavoidable, no student will be penalized because of religious reasons, and alternative means will be sought for satisfying the academic requirements involved. Students must notify faculty in advance and must complete all missed work.
Withdrawal Policies SEE ACADEMIC PROGRAM for additional Course Withdrawal Policies
Withdrawal from a Course
Students who desire to withdraw from one or more courses may do so within the course withdrawal period. Students who do not officially withdraw from a course will earn the appropriate grade based on the quality of their academic performance during the course and the grading policies within the course syllabus.
Any student who seeks to withdraw from courses within the course withdraw period must submit a Course Withdrawal form to the Registrar’ s Office. The Course Withdrawal form can be found on the Registrar’ s Office website.
Students who request a course withdrawal after the end of the withdrawal period must submit the Course Withdrawal form in addition to the appropriate documentation that supports their request to the College Dean for approval. Students are financially responsible for all courses from which they withdraw. A course withdrawal may affect full time status, campus residency eligibility, or financial aid.
