ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp

ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp Community College will promptly readmit a service member with the same academic status as the student had when they last attended the school or were accepted for admission. This requirement applies to any student who cannot attend school due to military service. Please contact the college Veterans Services Specialist for more information. Contact of Veterans Services Specialist Greg Eden at 402-437-2614 or geden@southeast.edu.

After the student provides the notice of their intention to reenroll (see definitions below for instructions), ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp will readmit the student into the next class or classes in the student’s program, unless the student requests a later date or unusual circumstances require ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp to admit them at a later date.

ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp will readmit the student with the same academic status:

• To the same program in which they were last enrolled, or to a similar program if the same program is no longer offered
• At the same enrollment status unless the student requests a different enrollment status
• With the same number of credit hour previously completed unless the student is readmitted to a different program to which the completed credit hours are not transferable and
• With the same academic standing as the student previously had (such as Satisfactory Academic Progress)

Military service (or service in the uniformed services): Voluntary or involuntary service in the armed forces, including service by a member of the National Guard or Reserve on active duty, active duty for training, or full-time National Guard duty under federal authority, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days under a call or order to active duty of more than 30 consecutive days. This does not include National Guard service under state authority.

Service member: someone who is a member of, applies to be a member of, performs, has performed, applies to perform, or has an obligation to perform, service in the uniformed services.

Appropriate officer: A warrant, commissioned, or noncommissioned officer authorized to give such notice by the military service concerned.

Armed Forces: the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Active duty—full-time duty in the active military service of the United States.

Active duty: full-time training duty, annual training duty, and attendance, while in the active military service, at a school designated as a service school by law or by the Secretary of the military department concerned. Active duty does not include full-time National Guard duty.

The student must notify ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp Community College of his military service and intention to return to school as follows:

Notification of military service. The student (or an appropriate officer of the armed forces or official of the Department of Defense) must give oral or written notice of such service to the school as far in advance as is reasonable under the circumstances. This notice does not have to indicate whether the student intends to return to the school and may not be subject to any rule of timeliness. (Timeliness must be determined by the facts in each case.) Alternatively, at the time of readmission, the student may submit an attestation of military service that necessitated his absence from school. No notice is required if precluded by military necessity, such as service in operations that are classified or would be compromised by such notice.

Notification of intent to return to school. The student must also give oral or written notice of her intent to return to the school within three years after the completion of the period of service. A student who is hospitalized or convalescing due to an illness or injury incurred or aggravated during the performance of service must notify the school within two years after the end of the period needed for recovery from the illness or injury. A student who fails to apply for readmission within these periods does not automatically forfeit eligibility for readmission but is subject to the school’s established leave of absence policy and general practices.

Student Loan Cohort Default Rate. ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp Community College provides Service members access to an institutional financial aid advisor who will make available appropriate loan counseling including disclosing the educational institution’s student loan Cohort Default Rate (CDR), upon request. The Veterans Office at ÅÝܽÊÓƵapp Community College will notify enrolled service members if the Cohort Default Rate rises above the national average and provide loan repayment data.
