Active Duty Service Members Tuition Assistance Policies

The Department of Defense requires non-directory personally identifiable information, that is protected by FERPA, be reported as a condition of receiving Tuition Assistance. Service members must sign an authorization for Molloy to release information on course enrollment, course withdrawal, course cancellation, course completion, or failure, grades, verification of degree completion and billing information to the Department of Defense and Service branches.

The "Academic Policy" section of the catalog covers policies for add/drop, withdrawal from courses or withdrawal from the college and for re-entry or readmission. Leaving classes or leaving the university while in pursuit of a degree will add to the time to degree completion. The returning student must follow college policies on completing prerequisites and meet progression standards that vary by program. (See the catalog section on programs for more information.)  University policies on academic standing and financial responsibilities will apply. The policy for appealing grades is covered in the Student Handbook, or contact the Associate Dean for Academic Services.

All Military Tuition Assistance must be requested and approved prior to the start date of the course. The service member will be solely responsible for all tuition costs if not approved for the funding.

Students will be encouraged to verify course acceptance by Community College of the Air Force (Air Force only) or other programs(s), with the installation education advisor before enrolling or requesting Military Tuition Assistance.
