Students who are unable to return due to active duty or deployment can be absent for up to five years before becoming inactive. However, after two years of absence, they must be prepared to show evidence of why their attendance was interrupted for military reasons.
Active-duty/deployed students who have become inactive due to an absence of over five years may be required to submit a new application for readmission to the university.
Transcripts previously submitted typically do not have to be submitted again. However, any transcripts containing new/additional coursework since last attendance at UMass Global must be submitted along with new university application.
Our Interrupted Enrollment Policy for deployed and active-duty military students can be found under “Military and Veteran Services-Interrupted Enrollment,” General Information.
