Jake is currently in Week 3 of two classes, but he has just been told that he will be deployed in five days for 6 weeks. This means he will miss the rest of his class. He knows that he won't be able to complet all of his work in the next five days (while preparing for deployment), but he's not sure what to do. This semester, he chose to use student loans to pay for his classes due to the fact that he ran out of military Tuition Assistance in the previous semester. Who should Jake talk to about his concerns? How can they assist? 

Jake can go to three different places for help: the college, the military, and wherever he took out his student loans. This is a unique situation in which Jake had no control meaning that one of these three organizations will likely cut him some slack and allow him to retake the class another semester. His best option would be to start at the school and let them know his situation. Hopefully, they will understand the situation and be willing to offer him to retake the class for free since he has already paid for it this semester. If the school is unwilling to work with Jake, he can also go to the military and see what assistance they can offer. Removing Jake in the middle of a semester might be part of his job, but the military could reimburse him for at least the time he could not attend class due to employment. Jake could also go to the group that provided his loans and try and work out some type of extension that would allow him to use the same loans for another semester since he is going to serve his country. One of these three groups should work with Jake because he is performing a service to the country.
