The document outlines options for students who need to drop courses due to military service obligations. It provides three options: (1) drop courses and receive a tuition/fee refund, (2) withdraw from courses and receive no refund but have funds retained for future classes, or (3) receive a refund for any deposited funds like balances on student cards. It also encourages textbook refunds from the bookstore.
