CUNY Activation Policy
Go here to read the full policy.
For Personal Activation orders for deployment, overseas, stateside or a base training during the term (after the drop deadline):
- The grade earned up to the point of activation may be granted at the time of activation if they have met the 13 week mark in the semester.
- Students can make arrangements with the instructor to make up work for the course.
- Students can work with their professor to obtain the grade of “Incomplete” as they attempt to complete the work they will miss. (Please review Baruch’s policy about “Incomplete” grades and how they will apply should they not be able to make up the material).
- If you are graduating at the time of activation, the designated authority/Graduation Auditor (Registrar) at Baruch may grant up to 12 credits from your JST transcript as military elective credit in order to assist in meeting the graduation goal. (Please refer to your individual CUNY college and degree programs to inquire about required courses per degree).
Action of your Reserve Unit of Base/Command differs from personal activation/orders. Students should not withdraw from courses unless they receive specific orders from the DOS on activation.
If you have questions or require accommodation support due to activation, please contact deanofstudents@baruch.cuny.edu for assistance.
