Expectations
Active duty students are treated according to their rank, however they can also expect to be treated accordingly with their Midshipman year-group counterparts. All active duty personnel still receive full pay and benefits which includes BAH.
Commissioning
STA-21 students have three years (36 months) to complete their degree while MECEP students are allowed up to four years to complete their degree. Upon your final semester you will receive a graduation clearance letter informing the NROTC Unit if you will pass your final semester in order to graduate and receive a commission.

STA-21’s will have to place a leave chit with the STA-21 Advisor and MECEP’s will need approval from MOI/AMOI. On weekends, if you travel farther than 300 miles from the NROTC Unit, you are required to take leave.
