You must first be admitted to UNL or one of our partnership schools. Please check out the UNL Admissions website for a list of requirements to be admitted to UNL and links to admissions applications. You can complete all your admissions paperwork online. When scheduling a campus visit, be sure to mention you are interested in Army ROTC. Campus Visits will set up an appointment for you to stop by while you are at UNL.

Any student can enroll in MLSC 101 Foundations of Leadership and MSLC 101L Leadership Lab. Students can attend freshman and sophomore level classes with no military obligation. All you have to do is register for the class listed in the UNL Class Schedule. Books are even provided by the Military Science Department free of charge! If you attend a partnership school, you can enroll in Military Science classes as a 'visiting student,' or by enrolling in the equivalent course at your school.

If you are already a student at UNL or one of our partnership schools (even a graduate student) and still want to join Army ROTC, come in and talk to us. Our faculty will make sure you are academically aligned to be able to complete ROTC at the same time you complete your degree.

If you are planning to complete a professional degree such as medical school, law school, dental school, etc., you may be eligible for an educational delay. You can complete Army ROTC and receive your commission when you complete your undergraduate degree, then delay military service (active, guard, or reserve) until you complete your professional degree.

ROTC is a great way to pay for college (including graduate school) at UNL or one of our partnership schools. Please check out our scholarship section for a detailed list of financial benefits. Scholarships have certain eligibility requirements and obligations which do not apply to non-scholarship cadets.

Are you already in the National Guard or Army Reserves? You may be eligible for scholarships through the Simultaneous Membership Program.

Are you currently active duty enlisted? You may be eligible through the Green to Gold Program .

Army ROTC is a physically demanding course. All cadets should receive a physical before participating in ROTC. If you feel there are certain activities you are unable to do, or if you are not currently in good physical shape, talk to our cadre who may work with you to improve your physical condition. Army ROTC is a great way to establish healthy habits which will last a lifetime.
