Students Called to Active Duty in the Military during an Academic Semester

The following options exist for a student called to active duty in the military during an academic semester.  Students may select one of the first three options and option four  if applicable, immediately by contacting  their respective academic department head who in turn informs the appropriate academic dean. The student must also file written verification of the activation order as soon as it becomes available with the registrar at Robert Morris University.  This policy also extends to military spouse or military dependent students that need to withdrawal due to the hardships caused by the service member’s activation/deployment.

Please review our Military Leave of Absence Policy.
