Despite the fact that most full -time students are entitled to defer from mobilization, Ukrainian legislation provides for a number of exceptions that can lead to a summons even during their studies.
The new rules are defined by the Law No. 10449, which regulates mobilization during martial law. According to Glavcom's , students who want to avoid mobilization should not only have a student's status, but also officially design a deferral at the territorial collection center (TCC).
In the absence of a documented deferral, men aged 25 years and older can be mobilized, even if they study.
Mobilization can touch the following categories of students:
-
Study at part -time or evening form. The law protects only those who are educated in full -time or dual form.
-
Second or third education. Delay is only valid during the first higher or vocational education.
-
The military is obliged. If a student has already been served or has combat experience, he can be called to the Armed Forces even in the status of an education applicant.
-
Deduction. If the student was expelled from the university - even temporarily - he automatically loses the right to defer.
-
Lack of decorated delay. Even if a student is formally entitled to release from mobilization, he is considered suitable for service without issued documents.
-
The gap between educational levels. Particularly risky period is between the completion of the bachelor's degree and the enrollment in the magistracy. If the student did not have time to issue a new delay, the shopping center has the right to mobilize it.
Even a remote form of learning within the daily or dual system does not deprive the right to deferral. However, only if there is an official certificate and entering data in the register of conscripts.
The Ministry of Defense and educational institutions urge students not to delay the submission of documents to the CCC in order to avoid misunderstandings or risk of conscription.
