Check-in Procedures

Call Student Services at 831-656-2303 or 831-656-1923 or ext. 3961 to request a sponsor if a sponsor has not been assigned.

In an effort to provide you with the best services and support, Student Services has developed a web in-processing system which you can find more information on here: https://nps.edu/web/students/incoming-students

This website will greatly reduce your in-processing time when you arrive at the Naval Postgraduate School since the information must be completed prior to your arrival.

Once you have arrived, you must report to Student Services, located at NPS in Herman Hall (basement Room 039) in the Del Monte hotel. The office is open 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday-Thursday, and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Friday, uniforms are required.

Call the Fleet and Family Support Center at 831-656-3060 to get additional information about the community before arriving and access to our Digital Welcome Package.
