Reservists/National Guard Members Called to Active Duty

Students who are called up should bring a copy of their orders to the Registrar's Office within 60 days of call-up.  Orders may be brought in by a friend or family member, or faxed to:  (859)572-6094.  University policy is as follows, according to when call-up occurs:

• If call-up occurs during the first 12 weeks of the semester the student will receive a complete withdrawal with a full refund for the semester
• If call-up occurs during the 13th or 14th week of the semester the student may elect to receive the grade earned to date in each course OR receive a W in each course with a full refund
• If call-up occurs during the 15th or 16th week of the semester the student will receive the grade earned to date in each course

It is very important that you provide your orders to the Registrar's Office as soon as possible in order for the above policy to be in effect.  In addition, a student returning from a period of active duty should provide a DD 214 to be sent to the VA.  Once the DD 214 is received by the VA, the student's delimiting date will be extended.
