This is a powerful notion, and one that will benefit the Sailor, the Navy and the nation. It takes all the pieces of old programs that worked and creates a total education system. The goal is to create an environment designed to accommodate the varying academic needs of Sailors. New features of the program will be introduced in three phases. On Oct. 1, 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. As of Nov. 17, the web site had logged more than 36,000 hits. Boot Camp graduates receive three college credits towards physical education credit. Currently 89 percent of Navy initial training and 36 percent of follow on training has been evaluated by ACE for recommended credit, with the plan to have 100 percent of initial training and 76 percent of follow on training evaluated by Oct. 1, 2000. Another unique aspect of the NCP is the rating-specific roadmap.
