Leave of Absence Due to Military Deployment

Students who must leave the college temporarily to complete a military assignment must meet with an Academic Counselor/School Certifying Official in the Bedford of Lowell campus Advising Centers or virtually. The student must provide proof of deployment orders prior to being deployed.

After verifying deployment documentation, the college will provide the following support after consultation with an Academic Counselor/School Certifying Official:

  • Process and approve a financial appeal, excusing tuition for that term.
    • Any payment made will be credited to the student’s account.
    • Last Day of Attendance will be recorded for reporting purposes.
If a student is called to active duty near the end of the term, or if they are enrolled in online courses, the student and faculty members may determine that incomplete (I) grades are more appropriate. In this case, tuition will not be waived.

When a student returns to the college after completion of the tour of duty, the student will notify the college and connect with an Academic Counselor/School Certifying Official to complete the registration and, if need be, the certification process.
