Welcome Class of 2030!
Congratulations on your acceptance! Once you are officially admitted by one of our Tri-Campus Affiliates and confirmed into the NROTC program, bookmark this page for crucial timelines and updates.
Please prepare to move into your campus residence hall significantly earlier than normal student arrivals. Early move-in is scheduled for Wednesday, August 19th, 2026. This early arrival permits our unit to complete our mandatory Battalion Reconstitution training, which integrates new midshipmen and candidates seamlessly into the unit before classes start. Detailed welcome packets will be mailed directly to your home address.
1. New Student Indoctrination (NSI)
If you are assigned to our unit, our staff will contact you with formal NSI orders and pre-arranged flight travel profiles within the week immediately preceding your scheduled departure for training.
To build your profile in the federal Defense Travel System (DTS) and secure your airline bookings, you must complete and return the Direct Deposit form immediately.
Submit this completed form directly to unit administration to authorize travel funding and onboarding profiles prior to your NSI cycle.
2. Battalion Reconstitution (August 2026)
Early dorm move-in requests have already been submitted on your behalf for August 19th, 2026. Please await direct institution housing confirmation before finalizing personal travel.
