Called to Active Duty Policy

Students who serve in the U.S. armed forces may be called to duty with little notice, which may affect your ability to attend classes.  These active duty reasons include:

• Deployment (not including basic training)
• Specialized training
• Disaster relief efforts

In a situation where your attendance at John Patrick University of Health and Applied Sciences is interrupted for one of these reasons, notify the Director of Administrative Services and provide a copy of your orders.  One of the following options will be available:

Withdraw from All Classes
Students who withdraw from all classes will receive a 100% refund on tuition and fees regardless of the date the withdrawal occurs within the semester.  Students who began classes for the semester and completed at least one week will have a W appear on their transcript.  For this policy to apply, the student must submit the withdrawal request and a copy of their orders no later than seven (7) days after receiving their orders.

Withdraw from Some Classes
Work with your Instructor or Instructors to see if this is an option.  

For students who choose this option, there will be a 100% refund on tuition and fees for the classes the student chooses to withdraw from regardless of the date the withdrawal occurs within the semester.  Students who began classes for the semester and completed at least one week will have a W appear on their transcript.  For this policy to apply, the student must submit the withdrawal request and a copy of their orders no later than seven (7) days after receiving their orders.
