Military withdrawal process
Full military withdrawal policy is in the college catalog.
If you enter into military service and/or are called into active duty prior to the end of an academic term, there is no tuition or fee liability.
For students whose U.S. military unit is called into active duty, and who need to depart from Jamestown Community College as a result, degree-seeking and non-degree seeking students should complete JCC’s total withdrawal process, including written verification of their military orders, and return to:
- Jamestown Campus students: Registrar’s Office (COCE)
- Cattaraugus County Campus students: Student Services Center (COLL)
Note: The term "military service" means full-time active duty in the Army, Navy (including Marine Corps), Air Force, Coast Guard of the United States, or qualifying National Guard duty during a war, other military operation, or national emergency as defined in Section 5 of the Higher Education Relief Opportunities for Students (HEROES) Act (Public Law 108-76).
Enlistment under a delayed enlistment plan does not constitute "full-time duty" until the student is required to leave school on the effective date of active duty as stated in the student's or family member’s orders.
Process for students whose military reserve unit is activated toward the end of the semester
An exception for the need to be released from courses may arise if the call to active duty occurs near the end of the academic term, when the student has completed all or most course requirements. In such situations, students should consult with their instructors to negotiate a grade. At that time an instructor can opt to give the student a grade on the work that has been completed thus far or an "I" (incomplete) so the student can complete the coursework at a later time. It is up to each course instructor to assign a letter grade or an "I".
Note: If an "I" is assigned, both the student and the instructor should clearly discuss the conditions for completing the course. Again, it will the discretion of the instructor to opt to give a letter grade or assign an "I".
Students will be responsible for all tuition and fees for any course(s) in which they receive an "I" or a final grade.
