Selective Service Exemption Form

What is Selective Service Registration?

Selective Service Registration is a way our government keeps a list of names of men from which to draw in case of a national emergency requiring rapid expansion of our Armed Forces. By registering all young men, Selective Service ensures that a future draft will be fair and equitable.

NOTE:  Registering with Selective Service does not mean you are joining the military.

Registration is required by federal and state law, and is required to enroll at Goodwill Technical College. You can register for Selective Service by clicking here. Your admissions application cannot be processed until this form is completed and proof of registration or exemption status is received.

Type of documentation for active duty or veteran status include:

• Copy of DD-214
• Military ID
• Letter from Commanding Officer
• LA National Guard File
• NGB22
• Current Orders
• Statement of Service
• VA Letter of Eligibility

Types of documentation for non-citizen status include:

• Certificate of Naturalization
• Passport
• Green card

If none of the above statements accurately describe your circumstances, please contact the Selective Service at www.sss.gov or 1-847-688-6888, to request a Status Letter that acknowledges the reason for your non-registration status. When you receive the Status Letter, please submit it to the Admissions Office.
