Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

(20 ILCS 1805/30.30)

Sec. 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.
