AFROTC Registration through Wilkes

We are excited to share our new registration system to help students finalize their enrollment in AFROTC for the Spring 2018 semester at www.wilkes.edu/rotc

Any full time college student is eligible to attend this free class, but we are especially targeting students that have 2 or more years of college/grad school remaining.

Since AFROTC is a college elective, you'll sign up just like you would any other college class.
The program is a college course that has 3 components, an academic class (1 credit Freshman/Sophomore, 3 credit Junior/Senior) and Leadership Laboratory (0 credits), and group fitness session taken every semester throughout your degree program. The components meet 1x week Thursday evenings at Wilkes University. AFROTC is open to all majors and does not require a formal commitment to the military until your junior year. The class & materials associated with the class (ie uniforms) are provided a no cost to students. To participate in AFROTC, simply sign up for the class the same way you would with your other classes - no formal application process required! College students enrolled in AFROTC program are eligible to compete for various scholarships (full and partial tuition). And, just like any other college class you can drop it at any time.

For the Spring 2018 semester, The AFROTC academic class meets Thursday from 2:30 - 3:20PM, and the Leadership Lab is also on Thursday from 4:00 - 6:00PM, followed by group fitness (PT) from 6:00 - 7:00PM. So, all in all you would only need to travel to Wilkes once a week to participate in the program.
