Military service

The mission of the Army-University Liaison Office is to resolve difficulties that may arise for students in connection with their military obligations and their academic program.

A hardship is defined as any situation that creates a delay that cannot be made up and that would cause the student to lose a semester or a year of study. This includes periods of service that coincide with examination sessions, provided that registration for these sessions is registered. However, a repetition course during a semester can only be taken into consideration in certain particularly justified cases.

The Liaison Office seeks to resolve these problems by requesting a shift (permutation) of service within the same year. In some cases, the repetition course will be cancelled and will have to be made up at a later date.

It is important to note that the facilities granted to students to take into account their particular situation do not constitute a "right to exemption"
