The goal is to create an environment designed to accommodate the varying academic needs of Sailors. As the Navy College Program is phased in this year, it will help provide focus for Sailors who want to get a college degree on their own time, at their own pace both ashore and while they're deployed. New features of the program are being introduced using a phased approach. During the first phase, Navy Campus offices were renamed Navy College Offices.
Sailors can visit academic advisors at the offices for advice on which degree path to choose.
Office facilities are being upgraded to meet Navy College Office standards and will be staffed with additional academic advisors. To expand the availability of information on the Navy College Program and academic advice, a new Navy College Center was established to provide Sailors easy access to information about the Navy College Program. As of March 15, the web site had logged more than 180,000 hits. Boot Camp graduates receive three college credits towards physical education credit. Another unique aspect of the NCP is the rating-specific roadmap.
