Read the Appointee Handbook posted on the portal for more information on your child’s appointment. If your child was injured or had a serious illness, contact Admissions immediately for further guidance. If any new conduct incidents or illegal drug use occurred (to include using marijuana), report it to Admissions immediately.

If your child will be under the age of 18 on In-processing Day, you will need to sign a release located in the Appointee Kit. Ensure that your child shows up with the appropriate documents, especially proof of U.S. citizenship. If any questions cannot be answered by consulting the Appointee Handbook or contacting the listed agencies first, contact your counseling team in Admissions. Be on the lookout for the announcement of Appointee Events hosted either at the Academy or virtually. Finally, ensure that your child follows the exercise routine in the Appointee Handbook and shows up physically and mentally ready for Basic Cadet Training.

For questions, call 719-333-6988 OR 6982. It is recommended that the cadet’s full name and social security number be annotated in the memo line of the check. Restrictions are conditions or limitations that specific agencies place on the use of their scholarship funds. Restrictions examples include “must be used for tuition, room and/or board”, “student is required to maintain a specific GPA”, or “scholarship funds will be paid back if cadet candidate disenrolls”. Scholarships without restrictions will be treated as non-restrictive and accepted. Once a scholarship is accepted it is never refunded to the agency granting the scholarship, even if the cadet or cadet candidate disenrolls.
