Military Students Bill of Rights

All military student populations have basic rights to satisfactory college marketing, admissions, and student services practices, including the right to:

• Accurate information about a school’s programs, requirements, accreditation, and its potential impact on course transferability.

• Access basic college/university information and fees without disclosure of student personal information.

• Educational planning and career guidance without high-pressure registration and enrollment efforts from institutions.

• A clear and complete explanation of course/program enrollment procedures and all resulting financial obligations.

• Explore, without coercion, all financial aid options before signing up for student loans or other financial assistance.

• Accurate scholarship information, free of misleading "scholarship" offers based on military tuition assistance.

• Appropriate academic screening and course placement based on student readiness.

• Appropriate, accessible academic and student support services.

• Clearly defined institutional “drop/add” and withdrawal policies and procedures including information about the impact of military duties (e.g., mobilization, activation, temporary duty assignments) on student's academic standing and financial responsibilities.

• Clearly defined grievance/appeals processes.
