Illinois § 30.30

§ 30.30.

School attendance and tuition. Any service member that enters military service has the right to receive a full monetary credit or refund for funds paid to any Illinois public university, college, or community college if the service member is placed into a period of military service and is unable to attend the university or college for a period of 7 or more days. Withdrawal from the course shall not impact upon the final grade point average of the service member. If any service member who has been enrolled in any Illinois public university, college, or community college is unable to process his or her enrollment for the upcoming term, he or she shall have any and all late penalties and or charges set aside, including any and all late processing fees for books, lab fees, and all items that were not in place because the service member was engaged in military service and was unable to enroll in the courses at the appropriate time. The rights set forth in this Section are in addition to any rights afforded to persons in military service with the State of Illinois pursuant to the orders of the Governor under the policies of an Illinois public university, college, or community college. A violation of this Section constitutes a civil rights violation under the Illinois Human Rights Act. All proceeds from the collection of any civil penalty imposed under this Section shall be deposited into the Illinois Military Family Relief Fund. (Source: P.A. 97-913, eff. 1-1-13.)
