Refunds for Persons Called into Active Duty
A reservist or member of the National Guard called into duty as a result of U.S. military demands after the start of a semester has three options about the treatment of tuition and fees he has paid to attend a public institution of higher education in Texas. According to state statutes and Coordinating Board rules, the institution, at the student's option, shall:
- Refund the tuition and fees paid by the student for the semester in which the student withdraws;
- Grant a student, who is eligible under the institution's guidelines, an incomplete grade in all courses by designating "withdrawn-military" on the student's transcript; or
- As determined by the instructor, assign an appropriate final grade or credit to a student who has satisfactorily completed a substantial amount of course work and who has demonstrated sufficient mastery of the course material.
Note: There are no provisions for refunds for active duty service members who are deployed as a result of military orders or for individuals who chose to enter into the service. The provisions listed above apply only to individuals called into active military service.
