Such statement must be received by WEAC directly from the advisor no later than July 1 of each year. It is the responsibility of the recipient to ensure that the advisor writes and mails the appropriate statement in a timely manner.
-
A recipient may retain eligibility for up to one year of non-attendance at a college or university for health reasons.
