OK, I've selected my school! Now what do I do?...

After completing your educational search, you may wonder what needs to happen next...

That is completely up to you.

If you would like to take the time to do additional research, you can contact the schools and receive packets of information from them. If you are ready to make your decision, you can take the search of schools you found and talk your options over with your local education center.

Go back to the page with the locations of the education centers. If you are not located at a major Marine Corps installation, you can still call and speak with a counselor at the location of your choice.

Never fear, even if it’s late, you can choose to call the Navy College Center (NCC) and speak to a counselor.

The Navy College Center (NCC) serves as the Navy College Program's central location for receiving and responding to toll-free telephone, electronic mail, fax, and United States Postal Mail inquiries dealing with all off-duty voluntary education programs and services. The Center also serves as a hub for requesting the Sailor and Marine Corps American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART).

The call center is open seven days a week, 15 hours a day, staffed by academic advisors, ready to fill your requests for SMART and answer questions about all components of voluntary education.
  • Call them toll-free at 1-877-253-7122 or DSN 922-1828 between the hours of 0600 - 2100 CST, 7 days a week (except Christmas, New Years, Thanksgiving, and July 4th)
