Hi,

 

My son, 3/c, is currently on academic LOA this semester, due primarily to too much "social life" his freshman year.

Luckily he has regained his focus and appears that he will meet the semester GPA needed to get his scholarship funding reinstated.

My question is has anyone else gone through this process?  Are there any forms or procedures he has to go through?  His Navy class advisor keeps telling him that as long as the GPA is there, the reinstatement process is automatic and there is nothing specific he has to do at the end of this semester.

We are not sure whether we believe this, since everything so far with the Navy has been a LOT of paperwork and bureaucracy.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

I know my son had to do a paper on why he thought he deserved the scholarship. He didn't request the scholarship though, the head recruiter insisted he apply for it.

I was not aware that there was such a thing as an academic LOA.  I have heard that a student with a NROTC scholarship can be placed on probation if GPA drops, etc. Is there a web site that explains this? 

There is most likely a NROTC page on the website of the college the student attends that will explain it.  For example, there is a page for it on the Univeristy of Wisconsin's webiste at http://nrotc.wisc.edu/changestatus.html.  You could also do a web search for NROTC scholarship Academic LOA and find other sites as well.

After a little research, it appears that an academic lOA, or academic probation is university or perhaps unit specific.  I would guess that it would depend on the school.  Good luck and I hope that it all works out.
