Incoming Freshmen

You may join the program up to the fourth Tuesday of each semester. In the fall semester, sign up for AERO 1110. In the spring semester, sign up for AERO 1120. For both semesters, this class meets from 2:00pm-2:50pm on Tuesdays. There is a two-hour lab associated with the course which meets from 4:00-5:50pm on Tuesdays. In the fall semester we will arrange a mass inprocessing briefing to complete the registration process, usually on the first or second Friday of the semester (we will cover this on the first day of class). If it is the spring semester, call (419) 372-2176 to make an appointment to see the head of personnel. You will need to have your original birth certificate, social security card, and driver's license at your inprocessing appointment.

There is a two-hour lab associated with the course which meets from 4:00-5:50pm on Tuesdays. BGSU students may encounter difficulty signing up for both classes because the university system may think the lab for the two courses conflicts, but it is the same lab. Come by the office in 164 Memorial Hall and we will help you with the paperwork to resolve this issue.

You cannot start the program in the spring semester of your sophomore year. However, depending on how many semesters you have left in school, we may be able to consider you a freshman in this semester. See the note below.

*NOTE: For AFROTC purposes, your academic standing is calculated backwards from your planned date of graduation. If you are a sophomore with four years or more of college left, we will consider you a freshman and you should sign up for the appropriate class. If you are a sophomore or junior with three years or more of college left, you will be considered a sophomore. Air Force ROTC requires a minimum of 3 years to complete, 5 semesters of which must be as a full-time student (you do not need to be a full-time student your last semester before graduation).
