Readmission of Military Members 

Active duty military or U.S. military reserve members admitted to Rowan College may request a withdrawal to fulfill a U.S. Military obligation. The student may notify Enrollment Services regarding his/her absence. The student will remain admitted in accordance with readmission provisions in the Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (Section 484C of the HEA) and implementing regulations in 34 CFR Section 668.18. 

Students who need to readmit may notify the Office of Admissions. Documentation of military service is required to support the request for readmission. The student will be readmitted with the same academic status he or she had at the time of the withdrawal request. The absence from the College cannot exceed five years; however, exceptions are noted in the law.
