It's rare, but not unheard of even outside of CS. A friend of mine is finishing up his degree at Brown University having never graduated from high school. Instead he joined up and did three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a pararescueman. The university has a program in place for students who experience an interruption (family, work, service, etc.) in their education. http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/advising/rue.php http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Dean_of_the_College/advi...
