Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as
Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
(330 ILCS 60/5.2)
Sec. 5.2. School attendance and tuition. (a) Any person in military service
with the State of Illinois or in federal active duty service pursuant to the orders of the President of the United States or the Governor 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 person is placed into a period of military service pursuant to the orders of the President of the United States or the Governor 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 person. If any person 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 person was engaged in military service
and was unable to enroll in the courses at the appropriate time. A service member enrolled in an institution of higher learning who is unable, because of his or her military service, to attend classes on a particular day or days has the right to be excused and to reschedule a course examination administered on such day or days. The faculty and administrative officials shall make available to the service member an equivalent opportunity to make up any examination he or she has missed because of his or her military service. The rights
set forth in this Section are in addition to any rights afforded to persons in
military service with the State of Illinois or in federal active duty service pursuant to the orders of the President of the United States or the
Governor under the policies of an Illinois public university, college, or
community college.
(b) For the purposes of this Section: "Institution of higher learning" has the same meaning as in Section 10 of the Higher Education Student Assistance Act. "Military service" means any full-time training or duty, no matter how described under federal or State law, for which a service member is ordered to report by the President, Governor of a state, commonwealth, or territory of the United States, or other appropriate military authority. "Service member" means a resident of Illinois who is a member of any component of the U.S. Armed Forces or the National Guard of any state, the District of Columbia, a commonwealth, or a territory of the United States.
