Absence of student due to Military Reserve or National Guard service
The MGH Institute of Health Professions values the service to community and country that students serving in the Reserves and National Guard provide. It is understood that these students may have required military training throughout the year. Because of the intensive nature of the course load and curriculum, Students must coordinate with their School/Program for appropriate accommodations to be arranged.
Absences that occur due to attending scheduled Annual Training (AT), Inactive Duty Training (IDT), State Active Duty (SAD), or unscheduled orders (ADOS, Title 10, Tittle 32) will qualify as “excused absences” which means that the absence, with proper prior arrangement, is not subject to penalty and completion of coursework may be satisfied through agreement between the instructor and the student.
It is up to the student to disclose their Yearly Training Calendar (YTD) to their Faculty at the start of the semester in order to make necessary arrangements for these training dates. Students should also provide their Chain of Command (CoC) their semester class schedule to deconflict any conflicts.
