esball官方网允许服役人员和预备役人员重新入学，如果他们暂时无法上课或由于服务要求而不得不暂停学业.

Rhode Island College follows the regulation released by ED (34 C.F.R. 668.8)关于因服兵役义务而中断的项目中寻求重新进入的退伍军人的重新入学要求, 并将这些规定适用于在一个学期或类似的入学期限内由于兵役义务而暂时无法上课少于30天的服务成员，如果这种缺勤导致根据大学政策退出.

esball官方网不参与欺诈性或侵略性的军事学生招募，包括, but not limited to, 为确保征兵或采用高压招募策略的个人提供补偿.

Rhode Island College bans inducements, including any gratuity, favor, discount, entertainment, hospitality, loan, transportation, lodging, meals, or other item having a monetary value of more than a de minimis amount, to any individual or entity, 或其代理，包括第三方先导发电机或营销公司，但为确保服务成员登记或获得TA资金而根据所有适用法律向雇员支付的工资或向承包商支付的费用除外. 允许大学资助的奖学金或助学金以及军事学生的学费减免.

Rhode Island College refrains from providing any commission, bonus, 或其他直接或间接基于确保招生或联邦财政援助(包括助教资金)的奖励支付给从事任何学生招聘的任何个人或实体, admission activities, or making decisions regarding the award of student financial assistance.

esball官方网避免使用高压招聘策略，比如主动联系(3个或更多), including contacts by phone, email, or in-person, 以及为确保服务成员登记而进行同日招募和登记.

esball官方网避免自动更新课程，捆绑课程或招生.

Rhode Island College will return any TA Program funds directly to the Military Service, not to the Service member. Up to the start date, Rhode Island College will return all (100 percent) TA funds to the appropriate Military Service when the Service member does not: (i) Begin attendance at the College; or (ii) Start a course, regardless of whether the student starts other courses.

esball官方网将退还因学院取消的课程而支付的助教资金.

esball官方网将按比例返还任何未获得的助教资金，至少在资金提供期间的60%. TA funds are earned proportionally during an enrollment period, with unearned funds returned based upon when a student stops attending. In instances when a Service member stops attending due to a military service obligation, esball官方网将与受影响的服务人员合作，确定不会导致退还部分学生债务的解决方案.

向军人收取的学费在任何情况下都不会超过向非军人学生收取的学费, unless agreed upon in writing by both the College and the Service.
