Military students deploying do not have to drop a class if they have the resources necessary to successfully finish the class. It is highly encouraged that you speak with your instructor to see if they have any concerns about you being able to complete the course that you may need to consider when making your decision.

If you already have your physical textbooks, you will be responsible for returning them to the school. You will return the books by mailing them to the school before the deadline date. Students will still be charged the full price if package is not postmarked by the due date.

If you are leaving before you can get your textbook, please contact the bookstore on your campus to find out what format you can receive your books because most books are in an online format: hc.bookstore@mgccc.edu.
