School Attendance Policies
Army G-3/5/7


  • Individual schools have different benchmarks for excessive class absences:
US Army Sergeants Major Academy: 20 cumulative course hours
Command and General Staff College: 15 cumulative days
US Army War College: 20% of course events
  • Differences are due to variations in course content, delivery methods, and requirements for group work
  • Absences in excess of school benchmarks are subject to disenrollment; however, those due to legitimate medical reasons, subject to exception by school commandant / dean on a case-by-case basis
  • School Commandant can approve individual make-up plan / mitigation strategy that may include:
Electronic participation
Independent study
Hybrid course approach including distance learning phases
Deferment to a later course
  • Deferment or removal from a course due to a temporary medical profile is considered “without prejudice”; no requirement to re-compete for selection
