Student Assistance General Provisions - State, Local, or Tribal Gov't

1845-0095 – Affected Public – State, Local or Tribal Governments 9/28/2015

The regulations identify the requirements under which an institution must readmit servicemembers with the same academic status they held at the institution when they last attended (or where accepted for attendance). The regulations require institutions to charge readmitted servicemembers, for the first academic year of their return, the same institutional charges they were charged for the academic year during which they left the institution (see section 484C of the HEA).

Section 668.18 (c) – Readmission procedures

The regulations create procedures that provide for the readmission of a student who was required to leave an institution of higher education in order to fulfill a service requirement in the uniformed services. An institution is not allowed to deny readmission under prescribed conditions.

Section 668.18(g) – Documentation

The student who wishes readmission to an institution of higher education under this regulatory section shall provide documentation to the designated institution office(s) showing they haven’t exceeded the allowed service limitations and are eligible for readmission. Examples of acceptable documentation are included in this regulatory section.

We estimate the time for schools to process the information provided will be approximately 30 minutes per individual servicemember.
