Cadet Area Access

STEP 1:

The Commander’s Support Staff (CSS) needs a copy of your Professor Emeritus certificate.  Please confirm with us whether or not we have a copy already.

STEP 2:

Your department will fill out a USAFA Form 13 on your behalf and submit to the DF CSS via the DF 2.0 App.

STEP 3:

The DF CSS will route the USAFA Form 13 for the appropriate parties’ digital signature according to Security Forces requirements. Once the form is complete, the DF CSS will send to the South Gate and notify you.

STEP 4:

You must proceed to the South Gate within 10 days to be issued a DBIDS card and proximity badge. (Note: You must present with a form of ID).

NOTE: A Professor Emeritus working on a regular basis (i.e. teaching) would in-process using the volunteer in-processing checklist. If acting as a volunteer, you must be vetted via the Volunteer Services Agreement (VSA) process.

If you do not fall under any of the categories, please get with your department/sponsor and they will assist you.

You will not be able to access the following link, but your department/sponsor will be able to find more information here.
