REQUIREMENTS

To participate in NJROTC, you must meet the following requirements:

• Be enrolled in and attending a regular course of instruction in a grade 8 through 12 at the school hosting the unit.
• Be physically qualified to participate fully in the physical education program of the host school.
• Maintain acceptable standards of academic achievement and an academic standing that warrants at least normal progression leading to graduation.
• Maintain acceptable standards of conduct.
• Comply with specified personal grooming standards. Common sense and good judgment apply to the attainment of these standards. Standards will not be relaxed so as to reflect disgrace on the naval service.
• Under the secondary school open enrollment policy and when desired by the principal of the host school, students in grades 8-12 who are otherwise ineligible for regular NJROTC enrollment may enroll as special NJROTC cadets. Special NJROTC cadets may participate in school approved NJROTC activities, be called naval cadets, wear the uniform, participate as cadet officers, and go on field trips and orientation visits to military installations. 

If you are interested in becoming a NJROTC cadet, please email LCDR Butikofer at nbutikofer@providencehall.com.
