Show Selective Service Replies To Deferment Questions Editor Note: The Selective Service System has prepared a set of questions and answers to better acquaint the public with the 1967 Military Selective Service Act. This article is the first in a series of articles presenting the most often asked questions and their appropriate appropri-ate answers. The first set of questions pertains to the II-S deferment requirements. Q.: What requirements must I meet to qualify for a II-S classification as an undergraduate college student? Ans.: You must file a written request with your local board for deferment de-ferment as an undergraduate college student. SSS Form 104 for this purpose is available at the nearest Selective Service Local Board or from your college military counselor. Additionally, you must provide your local board each year with convincing evidence that you are continuing to pursue satisfactorily a full-time course of instruction at a college, university uni-versity or similar insttution of learning. This information is usually provided pro-vided automatically by the colleges and universities, but it is the registrant's regis-trant's responsibility to see that it is done. Pursue Education Satisfactorily Q.: How does the Selective Service System define the phrase "satisfactorily "satis-factorily pursuing a full-time course of instruction" when the deferment of undergraduate college students is being considered? Ans.: To be considered as "satisfactorily pursuing a full-time course of instruction", an undergraduate student who is taking a four-year course should earn 25 per cent of the credits required for his baccalaureate degree de-gree at the end of his first academic year, 50 per cent at the end of his second academic year, and 75 per cent at the end of his third academic year. In the case of a baccaluareate degree for which 5 years of study are prescribed by the institution, a student should earn 20 per cent each year of the total credits required for the degree. |
