Procedure for Mesa State College
Call-up to Active Duty of Armed Forces Reservists and National Guard Members

Once students called to active duty have identified themselves and have shown copies of their orders, there are two possible paths these students may follow.

Option 1: Students withdraw from all classes in which they are enrolled.
Students selecting this option will be administratively withdrawn from all classes, grades of W will be assigned, and the students will receive complete refund of tuition and fees.

Option 2: Students request “I” (Incomplete) grades in each of their classes.
Student selecting this option will not receive a refund of tuition and fees. The one semester “clock” during which the students can complete their course requirements starts when they return from active duty. Students receiving financial aid should consider this option. If they withdraw completely from school, receive “W” grades in their classes, and are given a refund, they would be required to repay most or all of their financial aid award, not merely the part refunded for tuition and fees.

Students living in the dorms and/or on a food plan should be given a prorated refund of unused portions of payments made, regardless of option selected by the student.
