When the end of school is approaching, young people begin to wonder where to continue to receive vocational or higher education, but then immediately there are questions related to military service. And the first of them: how to get a reprieve from the army? However, today, under any circumstances, and not by all educational institutions, a delay can be provided, and the list of deferments from the army itself is not very long.
Postponement from the army to study in 2018
All deferrals are referred to in the Federal Law regulating military duty and military service. So, the 24th article of this law gives the right to postpone recruits to study in universities with different forms of employment. What are the reasons for delaying the army?
Getting a deferment from the army to study at school
The first postponement in studies can be received by young men who have not had time to complete basic studies. During the period of training on the school bench, a student cannot be called up for service, even if he has already become eighteen years old. Do not call immediately after receiving certificates. Such recruits will receive a reprieve from the army in grade 11 until October 1 of the year when they completed their studies at school. It is important to know that only recruits who successfully defeated the USE and naturally received school certificates can use this right to be exempted from the army.
Delay for recruits in colleges and technical schools
On January 1, 2018, due to the amendments to the legislation on granting deferments to students of colleges and technical schools, it is necessary:
- Have a general secondary education;
- Stay on full-time classes (correspondence and part-time correspondence versions of delays do not provide).
At the present time, the new law on deferments removed restrictions on time and age. Now the postponement of military service after the 11th grade will be provided to almost everyone who wishes to enter colleges or technical schools. Students of secondary schools should not worry about getting an education until the completion of the educational process.
The changes also affected young people who had previously received postponement of studies in secondary schools and are currently undergoing training. These young men will also be given the opportunity to use their deferments regardless of the achievement of the established ages.
Terms of deferral provide important aspects. Colleges and technical schools are given a deferment only in cases where draftees passed state accreditations in educational projects. You can get acquainted with the colleges providing deferments by going to the Rosobrnadzorovsky portal. The second important point is the fact that deferments from technical colleges or colleges can be made out exclusively at military registration and enlistment offices. Schools recruits are not exempted from service.
It also became known that in high schools there is no deferment from the army after college or the technical school. Graduates of secondary vocational schools will be able to continue the process of their studies only after they give up their military duty or when they receive military tickets for health reasons. If someone is not very sure that he has the right to the fact that he will get a respite from the army on health, it is advisable to consult with lawyers.
They have their own nuances and answers to the questions whether deferments are given after colleges or technical schools. A second postponement from the army after colleges is not provided. When conscripts took advantage of the only deferment, after the termination of the military colony they will be called up for military service.
Getting a postponement at the university (bachelor degree)
When draftees are trained in state-accredited educational program projects, they may also have the right to postpone the classes. It is advisable to know that recruitment-students of universities of correspondence courses of delay will not be provided, however, as in part-time education. Delay can be guaranteed only to those recruits, students who are already enrolled in person. For its registration, students need registration in the military registration tables of universities.
For these purposes it is necessary to provide the following documents:
- Passport;
- Student ID;
- Registration certificate.
Following this, the recruits must be taken in the deans of their universities certificate that they really are students.
They need to specify:
- Date with the number of the order of admission;
- Approximate dates of graduation;
- Information on current training courses.
With these certificates and ascribed certificates, conscripts must appear at the military registration and enlistment offices and undergo a medical examination in order to receive the decision of the draft commission on granting them deferments.
Essential principles for deferment
It is advisable not to forget the important rules of deferment.
- Only military registration and enlistment offices can be exempted from military recruitment, and not the management team of educational institutions;
- Military departments and deferments are not considered by the law as a whole. Military training courses do not provide students with additional benefits. Consequently, when there are no deferments for recruits, then the process of training in military departments will not guarantee that they will be released from conscription;
- If there were deferments before, for example, when studying at a university, they will not be provided again.
Acquisition of deferments in universities (Master)
Delay after receiving a bachelor's degree can be purchased at:
- Full-time education, state accreditation of educational program projects for graduate schools;
- Continuity in educational processes, admission to graduate in the years of the end of undergraduate.
Under the law in the magistracy give a delay. However, if conscripts successfully graduated from undergraduate studies and did not have time to register deferments, they may be called up for service. Educational or postgraduate leave, drawn up by educational institutions, will not have the force of law. As already mentioned, delays can be made out exclusively by the military commissariats.
Postponement and study in graduate school
Following the completion of the magistracy recruits can continue classes for admission and training in graduate school. Delays of up to one year are given to young people so that they can protect themselves.
Postgraduate studies are deferred when young people study:
- In programs that have passed state accreditation;
- For full-time forms of employment (correspondence courses do not provide for deferment).
Postponement after deduction from universities
It is possible, in principle, to postpone delays following with the exception of universities, but you should be aware of some important points. In accordance with federal legislation regulating military duty and military service, draftees have the right to continue their studies. However, only in those cases if:
- They expelled at will;
- The time of study after the restoration did not increase.
Delays in the renewal process following the dismissal are not granted when students were excluded by the dean's office or rector's office due to the fact that they had academic failure. Extend their studies after they give up their military duty will happen in those cases where conscripts were discharged on a voluntary basis (at will). However, the duration of study after recovery will increase by one year or even longer hours.
Is the second postgraduate postponement given? The aforementioned federal law does not provide for a limit on the number of deferments if you attend the second postgraduate program for study. Delays can be granted if graduates have entered and are studying full-time, or on projects that have been accredited.
Are repeated deferments given to recruits?
The right to deferment from the army is given to conscripts only once. However, there are exceptions to this rule. To find out whether conscripts can resort to another deferment, you need to refer to Article 24 of the previously mentioned federal legislation:
- Conscripts can get a second postponement if they successfully passed the exams and in the same year applied for a postponement for admission to the magistracy (but this is not available only to bachelor, specialists and masters);
- If draftees are expelled from graduate school, but then they entered again, then they will issue a deferment again.
The main criterion for using these rights again and again is the continuous educational process. Students will not go to the army, moving to a new level of education in the year of completion of the previous one. The second obligatory factor to gain deferral are classes on educational projects that have state accreditation. When programs (or educational institutions, in general) do not have accreditations, defenders will not be granted deferments.
What to do with army service while studying abroad
Military registration and enlistment offices do not draw up deferments for the period of study abroad. However, Russian citizens who live in the territories of other states for a long time are granted exemptions from both registration and conscription.
When conscripts are going to study abroad, they should appear at the district military registration and enlistment offices to report their intentions and declare in writing that they should be removed from military registration. Statements should be accompanied by evidence of moving abroad:
- The paper certifying admission to the university;
- Ticket availability;
- Permission for temporary residence or / and type of residence.
Following consideration and approval of applications, recruits will be deregistered. After that, they may not be afraid of appeals, even if they are at home on every vacation.
When distance learning abroad, when recruits are in their homeland, they are not exempt from appeals. Deferrals in such circumstances do not make out.
Deferment from the army on children
Delays may be granted to recruits who have:
- A child raised without maternal care;
- Two or more children;
- Child and pregnant wife, with a pregnancy of at least twenty-six weeks;
- Disabled child up to the age of three.
Delays for the above reasons will be granted, regardless of the wishes of draftees.
Postponement of army health
When a conscript has been declared shortly unsuitable for military service (for example, by suitability category "G"), he can expect a grace period of six months to one year.
Another deferment from the army on health can be made out if there is a referral to the operation. Terms in such cases, as a rule, depend on how quickly or slowly the postoperative recovery will take place (but not more than twelve months).
