Enrollment into ROTC at USF

All students that are enrolled full time, in good standing, in USF or one of our partner Bay-Area colleges (including junior college) can enroll in the lower division ROTC courses (Military Science 100 and 200 levels). The classes count as elective credit toward a student’s elective credits toward their degree. Interested students should contact the ROTC program assistant in order to receive assistance in enrolling for the classes.

Visiting students are required to have their MMR and Hepatitis B shot record available, as this is a requirement for the University of San Francisco. Visiting students will need to fill out cross-enrollment forms at the ROTC programs office — Lone Mountain Main.
