1.  Approximately 30 days prior to class convening we will send each student an electronic "Welcome Aboard" letter as part of an arrival package to supplement the travel instructions issued by TQC, as well as answer other anticipated questions about the program. 

2.  Select the “Welcome Pamphlet” item in the menu bar at the top of the page for additional information about the Academy facilities.

3.  In nearly all cases, students will be staying in the Munro Hall Guests Quarters (MHGQ) located on Harriet Lane. Reporting instructions and details about the facilities are contained in the Welcome Aboard letter. A significant portion of the learning that occurs at the School comes from the time spent engaged in informal discussions in the MHGQ and at meals. There is much to be said for getting to know our fellow professionals, and the classroom simply does not offer enough of an opportunity. The Coast Guard is a small service and the surface operations community is smaller yet. Chances are the sailors you are attending class with now have been or will be the ones you work with "in the fleet." Make the most of the time available.

4.  Class convenes promptly at 0730 on the class convening date, in Yeaton Hall, Room 320. The uniform for students is tropical blue long with garrison cap or combination cover and ODUs with unit ball cap.  Classes continue until 1130 on the graduation date.  DO NOT ARRANGE RETURN FLIGHTS PRIOR TO 1500 HOURS the Friday of graduation.
