Policy on Tuition Refunds or Credit for Students Called to Active Military Service

Alabama State University students who are enrolled at the University and receive orders that place them on active duty, will immediately bring orders to the Office of Veterans and Military Affairs (VMA). It is the policy of Alabama State University to take every reasonable step to ensure the student is not penalized for active duty deployments or Annual Training orders.  The student, VMA and the Registrar will counsel the student on their options. Options are listed below:

• If it is not after 60% of the term, the student will have the option of withdrawing with full refund of tuition and proportionate refund of room and board.

• If the call to duty occurs close to the end of the term, the student may be permitted to take the final examinations early and receive full credit for the course(s).

 • If it is late in the term and the student does not wish to complete the final examinations, he or she may opt for either receiving “incompletes”in the course(s) or withdrawing. 

Notify your professors and academic advisors immediately upon receipt of your orders. This policy complies with The Principles of Excellence.
