Nomination Process

Units should submit their nominations via the "Submit a Nomination" tab facilitated by MS Forms.

Registration will close if a class reaches its maximum seat capacity ahead of the registration closed date. If this happens, the following class’s registration will open early. This will be communicated during the nomination process.

Class seat capacity is shown next to the class number. This is driven by factors such as staff guidance and physical space. These seat dates may change slightly throughout the year.

Units may request to have Marines added to the standby roster for classes that are full prior to the report date. Standby Marines must still meet the requirements outlined below. Marines that are not accepted as standbys will be offered preferential seating for the next following course.

Seat availabilities are shown as (Seats Taken/Maximum Seats)
