Questions pertaining to status of BUMED or NAMI medical determinations must be directed to MCRC POC. 10. Pre-OCS information. OCS class dates are tentative and subject to change. Every effort will be made to schedule Marines to the first available OCS class immediately following a selection board however this is not guaranteed. MCRC will determine which OCC a Marine will be scheduled to attend once medically qualified and utilizing allocations and the accession needs of the Marine Corps. Marines nor Commands should be checking MCTIMS for OCS attendance. Official notification will be sent via email notification by MCRC POC approximately 45-60 days prior to shipping. Refer to reference (f) for OCC report and graduation dates.

A first class PFT is required for shipping to OCS. Pre-ship PFTs must be taken no earlier than 60 days and no later than 30 days of scheduled OCC report date when possible. Ensure information is annotated in the PFT portion of the checklist. Refer to reference (h) for OCS PFT guidance. Commands must ensure Marines' PFT information meets the requirements of reference (h), prior to submission of the checklist. Marines who do not meet the above requirements are not eligible to report to the scheduled OCC, and this will count as one attempt. If this is the second attempt to attend OCS, the Marine will be disenrolled from their respective programs. d. All "yes" answers to questions under the Candidate Section on the checklist that have not been previously disclosed or waived by MCRC prior to selection must include the signed applicable forms and signed detailed handwritten statements explaining events, to include supporting documents per reference (d). 11. Funding. MECEP and ECP Marines, notified of attendance to an OCC by MCRC POC, will be provided a funding letter along with additional guidance. Scheduled Marines must forward the funding letter to their parent commands for issuance of Temporary Additional Duty orders to attend OCS. Questions concerning funding should be directed to the email located in the funding letter or the Marine's DTS administrators, not MCRC.

MCRC POC will provide official notification of retained Marines with next course of action upon receipt of official drop package from OCS. Do not contact MCRC until after receipt of official correspondence. If dropped due to medical, contact your PCM to be evaluated for the medical drop reason provided to you by OCS and begin documenting the medical process.

(6), “Comments pertaining to the Marine Reported On (MRO)’s drop from, or failure at, a school because of the MRO’s unwillingness to try, cavalier attitude, or unprofessional conduct or ability to meet required standards are adverse”. The CO, OCS, is authorized to effect involuntary disenrollment for cause during any phase of the training. The CO, OCS, can recommend an OCS class outside the authorized 10-week class for E-O applicants who are dropped from OCS however, CG MCRC, is the final adjudicating official. 13. Post OCS graduation. a. After graduation from OCS, Marines will report back to their parent commands or directed duty stations. All claims for travel reimbursements must be completed within five business days upon return to parent commands or directed duty stations. ECPs, RECPs, and MCP-Rs will receive their orders for TBS prior to departing OCS to execute from their parent commands or directed duty stations and are directed to submit a TBS checklist with final OCS PFT and all signatures to MCRC POC or representative prior to OCS graduation. b. Upon verification of graduation from OCS, and receipt of a NROTC or affiliated school acceptance letter with NROTC Unit acceptance letter annotating a semester or quarter start and no later than date, as outlined in reference (d), the MCRC POC will request Manpower Enlisted Assignments (MMEA) issue Permanent Change of Station (PCS) or Permanent Change of Assignment (PCA) orders for MECEPs. MECEPs who submit the two letters close to the end of the fiscal year, in the event of a government shutdown, during MCRC board season, or incorrect status codes may experience a delay in orders due to priority workload, funding restrictions or code corrections. c. Due to student seat availability at the NROTC Units, MECEP Marines must apply to three separate NROTC or affiliated schools. If the unit has availability, the Marine can apply to the college/university. NROTC and affiliated schools can be found at www.netc.navy.mil scroll down then select NROTC Schools. d. Upon submission of both letters, MECEP Marines will receive PCS or PCA orders to the NROTC or affiliated school as directed. Orders cannot be issued by MMEA if both acceptance letters are not received by MCRC or there are fewer than 90 days until the NROTC unit’s no later than date for PCS orders. As many universities have moved away from hard copy acceptance letters, the official acceptance email from a school official will suffice. Ensure the acceptance letters from both the NROTC unit and the school contain the same authorized semester start time frame. Formal requests to attend the NROTC or affiliated school outside of directed semester starts per reference (d) are not authorized except for PCA moves or extenuating medical circumstances. Supporting medical documentation must be submitted for review and approval by MCRC. e. MECEPs are not authorized to initiate any PCS or PCA moves prior to being issued orders. f. MECEPs refer to references (a) and (i) for obligated service and pertinent information and ensure the Special Officer Program RELM type is used.

MECEPs are not authorized to attend any school not listed under NROTC schools or that annotate Registered Nurse (RN) option only or Navy option only on the above website. i. MECEPs are not authorized to attend graduate schools until after completion of TBS. j. MECEPs are not authorized PCS moves from their original NROTC or affiliated school without prior approval from MCRC. k. Failure to provide both the NROTC or affiliated school and NROTC Unit acceptance letters within one year of OCS graduation, will result in disenrollment from the program. l. MECEP Marines who successfully graduate OCS must provide the documents listed on the MECEP Inbound Checklist to their assigned NROTC or affiliated school upon reporting. The MECEP Inbound Checklist can be found on the MCRC website listed in paragraph 5d under General Forms. m.

The Commandant's Education Board, which selects Marine Officers to attend graduate schools between the grades of first lieutenant and major, requires Marines to have qualifying calculus and science classes for selection to certain Postgraduate School, Air Force Institute of Technology, and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs (e.g. Naval Fellowships). For this reason, MECEP students are highly encouraged to pursue degrees within Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curriculums to qualify for these graduate education and fellowship opportunities. Marines who pursue non-STEM degrees are likewise encouraged to take calculus I and II and calculus-based science classes to qualify for selection to these programs in the future.
