Military Service

If you are currently in the military and are required to report to duty or drill which will require missing class(es), please contact your professor as soon as possible to establish a make-up plan. If you get orders for deployment or called up for extended training, please bring copies of military orders to Veteran Services to retroactively drop you from your courses.
