The Spring 2021 New Student Orientation date is set for Thursday, 7 January 2021.  We will meet in the atrium of the Social Sciences Building on the ASU Tempe campus; sign-in for orientation will begin at 0800.  Please ensure all of your WINGS information is complete two weeks prior to the orientation date.  If you are unable to attend the orientation on this date, please call ahead to schedule an alternate orientation time/date/place.

Uniform of the Day (UOD) for Orientation

Incoming students attending orientation should wear the UOD: navy blue polo, khaki pants, black belt, black socks, black shoes and black face mask (due to COVID-19). No hats shall be worn. All male students should be clean shaven. Further details about grooming standards will be explained throughout the beginning of the semester to incoming cadets.

We are using a paperless orientation, which allows new students in our program to complete several forms online. You will need to complete the first two steps in the process, completing applicant registration and part one of the applicant checklist, no later than two weeks prior to the set orientation date. Please visit the website below and click on "Apply for AFROTC" to create an account and begin the checklist.

The attached documents at the bottom of the page provide very important information on orientation to include the paperwork required for enrollment.  One of those documents is the AFROTC Form 28, which is required to participate in AES 294 - Air Force Physical Fitness. You will need to provide your Sports Physical at our first PT class.

Physical Fitness Preparation

Be prepared for the baseline (ungraded) Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) scheduled tentatively for the end of January.  The baseline test provides a starting point for all cadets to improve upon during the course. PFA’s consist of 1 minute of push-ups, 1 minute of sit-ups, and a 1.5 mile run. Below are the PFA standards for males and females:
