Called to Military Duty

Information on Students Called to Active Military Duty in Reserves or National Guard
Attention faculty and staff: Students who are called to active military duty are asked to contact the Dean of Students Office at 351-2796. Faculty will be notified. Later, if the student decides to totally withdraw, the following guidelines are to be used:

1. Students are requested to submit a copy of their orders to:

Dean of Students Office
University of Northern Colorado
501 20th Street, Campus Box 26
Greeley, CO 80639

2. Before the Drop/Add deadline, any student who is called to active duty will have their registration canceled with no charge.

3. After the Drop/Add deadline, any student who is called to active duty will be withdrawn from all classes with no charge. The Dean of Students Office will notify the Registrar's Office, so that the total withdrawal can be processed.

4. If a student is called to active duty close to the end of the term, the Dean of Students will contact the instructors to see if an “incomplete” or a grade can be given.

5. If the student is living on campus, the student will be charged for room and board up to the day of departure.

6. As to Student Loan repayments, following is an excerpt from the U.S. Department of Education:

Summary: Recent Terrorist Attacks-Persons Affected by Military Mobilization
Borrowers whose Title IV loans are in an in-school, in-school deferment, or grace period status.
If a borrower’s loans are in an in-school status, an in-school deferment status, or in a grace period status when the borrower is ordered to active duty or reassigned, the lender must maintain the loans in that status during the period of the borrower’s active duty service or reassignment, plus the time necessary for the borrower to resume enrollment in the next regular enrollment period that is reasonably available to the borrower, if the borrower wishes to go back to school. However, this maintenance of loan status may not exceed a total of three years including the period of time necessary for the borrower to resume enrollment. Additionally, if the loan was in a grace period status at the time the borrower was ordered to active duty, the period of time during which the borrower was serving on active duty is excluded and the borrower would receive their full grace period in the future.
