GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This MARADMIN announces the implementation of the
Navy College Management Information System (NCMIS) Scheduling Tool.
This application will be preferred method for Marines to schedule
AFCT, DLPT, and DLAB testing. While the traditional method of 
contacting education centers for test scheduling is still available,
it is no longer the recommended approach.
2. Background. Previously, AFCTs, DLPTs, and DLABs were scheduled by
contacting Installation Education Centers. The NCMIS Scheduling Tool
eliminates this requirement and offers transparency by providing a 
clear and immediate view of testing availability across the entire 
Marine Corps.
3. Policy Update. Effective 13 April 2026, all Marines will submit
scheduling requests using NCMIS at
https:(slash)(slash)myeducation.netc.navy.mil.
3.a. For additional information, please visit the following link
https:(slash)(slash)www.manpower.marines.mil/Divisions/Plans-and-
Policies/Manpower-Plans-and-Policy/Manpower-Analysis-MPA/Test-
Control/.
4. Education Center Scheduling Calendar.
4.a. All Education Center Installation Test Control Officers must
ensure that testing schedules are up to date and accurate.
Testing Calendars will be updated to reflect testing for the current
and following quarter at the minimum.
4.b. This is an inspectable item and will be monitored by Manpower
Analysis Branch (MPA), Manpower Plans and Policy Division.
5. No-Show Policy.
5.a. A "No-Show" occurs when a Marine does not attend their 
scheduled test. When this occurs the Installation Education Center
will notify the scheduled tester's command senior enlisted advisor 
via email. Additional policy guidance will be published in the 
forthcoming Testing Marine Corps Order.
6. Submit questions to MPA at
smb_manpower_msab_testing@usmc.mil.
7. This MARADMIN is applicable to the Fleet Marine Force.
