The Application Process has two parts: Applying for ROTC and Registering for Classes.

You must fully complete both to be considered a cadet.

PART 1 - Apply For ROTC

Step 1: Create a WINGS account.

WINGS Home Portal is the official AFROTC application. From the home page, click “Apply for AFROTC” under the ROTC section.

Step 2: Complete required sections and forms.

More detailed instructions on each form are under the Required Forms section. Parents or Guardians may sign as a witness. Notaries are not required unless a witness cannot be furnished.

Step 3: Register for an Application Session and New Student Orientation (NSO).

It is mandatory to attend the Spring Application Session on 13 January 2022, in the Reckord Armory, Room 0126, 4490 Rossborough Ln, College Park, MD 20742. Register here. NSO will be 22 January 2022 from 8am-12pm in the same location. For both the Application Session and New Student Orientation, please wear business casual with a tucked in collared shirt, khakis, black/brown belt, and closed toe shoes. A black or dark jacket may be worn as well.

It is MANDATORY to bring ALL the following items to the Application Session:

  1. Government Photo ID (i.e., driver’s license, passport, etc.)
  2. SAT/ACT scores (if you have them, collegeboard.com print out is fine)

**Note: If you are having issues with the site and/or uploading these forms be sure to 1) use Internet Explorer, 2) disable pop-up blocker, and 3) clear your browser cache

PART 2 – Register For Air Science Classes

All cadets must register for Air Science (ARSC) courses at University of Maryland (UMD) and should expect to attend in-person. No virtual options exist for UMD classes.

Freshmen in the Spring must register for ARSC 101 and ARSC 059.

There are multiple sections of ARSC 101, so make sure you register for the section that best fits your schedule. We highly recommend crosstown cadets register for the Thursday sections to limit driving to UMD once a week. Most other ROTC requirements can be completed on Thursdays, such as physical training, mentoring sessions, and other projects.

See the course catalog for dates and times

There are 4 separate processes to register based on which institution you attend. Pay very close attention to your school’s process! If you run into issues with registration, please contact your respective registrar. The ROTC Detachment does not have any influence over the course registration process.

University of Maryland Students:

If you attend UMD – College Park, you will register for classes through Testudo as you would all your other classes.
