§ 51.9242. READMISSION OF STUDENT WHO WITHDRAWS TO
PERFORM ACTIVE MILITARY SERVICE. (a) This section applies only to
a student who withdraws from an institution of higher education to
perform active military service as a member of the United States
armed forces or the Texas National Guard, except that this section
does not apply to a student who withdraws from an institution solely
to perform one or more training exercises as a member of the Texas
National Guard.
(b) For any academic term that begins after the date a
student described by Subsection (a) is released from active
military service but not later than the first anniversary of that
date, the institution of higher education from which the student
withdrew shall readmit the student, without requiring
reapplication or charging a fee for readmission, if the student is
otherwise eligible to register for classes at the institution. On
readmission of the student under this subsection, the institution
shall:
(1) provide to the student any financial assistance
previously provided by the institution to the student before the
student's withdrawal if the student meets current eligibility
requirements for the assistance, other than any requirement
directly affected by the student's service, such as continuous
enrollment or another similar timing requirement; and
(2) allow the student the same academic status that
the student had before the student's withdrawal, including any
course credit awarded to the student by the institution.
(c) An institution of higher education may adopt rules
requiring reasonable proof from a student of the fact and duration
of the student's active military service.
