10 TOP QUESTIONS ABOUT ATTENDING THE NTWC CAMPUS
WHAT IS THE NWTC POLICY ON
ACTIVATION FOR DRILL AND OTHER
ACTIVE DUTY ABSENCES?
Starting the semester late
It is the responsibility of the Service Member or dependent to
communicate with an instructor if they will not be attending the first
day of the semester due to current military service orders. Once it has been ver-
ver
ified that the student is on current military service orders, the instructor will not assign a
No-Show (NS) grade to the appropriate Service Member.
Leave during & returning prior to end of semester
A Service Member who receives military orders requiring him/her to miss classes for a
period within the semester may request to continue enrollment and participate in the
course if:
1. The student is currently receiving a passing grade in the course
2. The student is in good standing
3. The student will miss less than 25% of the total class days for the entire class
4. The student consults with the instructor of the course to ensure that all
required work is completed prior to the end of the semester, or related
course work is made up
Note: It may be in the best interest of the Service Member and dependent to completely withdraw fro
all courses when receiving military orders based on the nature or content of the courses missed,
duration of the course (accelerated or partial term), and if an instructor feels as though the
appropriate course work cannotbe
be completed (ie. clinical time, lab time, etc.)
Leave during & not returning prior to end of semester
A Service Member or dependent initiating a withdrawal due to receiving
active duty military service orders shall be given a choice to: Withdraw from
classes or receive an Incomplete for all courses.
1. Withdrawal from all classes will be given a full tuition refund
of monies paid by the student.
- or -
2. Receive Incomplete for classes, if the military orders
are issued within three weeks from the end of the term.
*Students are responsible for completing all course requirements (including any portion
they may have missed).
**In the event of an immediate deployment, where the Student Veteran cannot be
present to complete withdrawal steps in person, the Registrar or approved person
on a release of information form may be empowered to act on behalf of the
Student Veteran or dependent.
Please contact the VA certifying official regarding this
policy and additional requirements.
