2019-2020 Student Handbook 41 Military Service Students Called into Active Duty Students who report for active duty, either involuntarily or voluntarily, should notify the Registrar's Office as soon as possible. Students who cannot complete their coursework will be withdrawn from the course(s) enrolled for that semester, and all tuition for the incomplete work will be refunded. In cases where it is appropriate and feasible for students to finish their course work, faculty will make a reasonable effort to work with students to this end. Students called into active duty will retain their student status for up to five years. Notification of intention to re-enroll in the next semester following deactivation must be given to the Seminary by the student within 90 days following an honorable deactivation/discharge. Students returning from active duty will not need to reapply to the Seminary but will be required to re-sign the Statement of Faith. Students who have taken coursework at other institutions may be required to submit transcripts. Current Active Duty Students Students who are taking courses while on active duty and experience military obligations (field assignment, etc.) that interfere with their ability to meet course requirements (attending class or taking an exam on a specific date) should discuss the matter with their professor and also notify the Registrar's Office. If special accommodations are requested or required, active duty students will need to provide Denver Seminary with professional documentation from their commanding officer to verify the dates/times they were away. With such documentation, students will be allowed to make up class work, quizzes, or a test that was missed during the documented time period. Other assignments that have deadlines listed in the course syllabus, such as research papers, will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the professor to determine if additional time is warranted. Disability Services Overview of Section 504 at Denver Seminary Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act states that "no qualified handicapped person shall, on the basis of handicap, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity which receives Federal financial assistance" (34 C.F.R. Part 104.4). Denver Seminary strives to provide qualified students who have disabilities with opportunities to succeed in accordance with applicable law and the Seminary's resources, mission, and principles. Denver Seminary does not discriminate on the basis of handicap in violation of applicable portions of the Rehabilitation Act and its implementing regulations, including 34 C.F.R. Sec. 104.1 et seq. The Seminary has designated the Dean of Students as the coordinator of its efforts under Section 504, and under its guidelines for addressing student requests for special arrangements, as well as its complaint procedure. Because of its status as a religious institution, Denver Seminary is not subject to Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Rehabilitation Act may not apply to all of its decisions or activities. Nonetheless, the Seminary recognizes the gifts and calling to ministry of students with disabilities and strives to honor and address their needs and concerns through these guidelines.
