Moving is a way of life for service members and their families. Resources like MilitaryINSTALLATIONS, Plan My Move and Military OneSource provide important information to help make moving easier. For many newcomers, a sponsor can help add that personal touch.
A sponsor is assigned by a newcomer's gaining unit and helps the newcomer before, during and after a move. If you haven't been assigned a sponsor, you can request one through your new unit. Units try to match sponsors and service members by rank and family status.
Sponsorship is also available for youth. Installation youth sponsorship programs help military-connected youth make a successful transition to a new community. Primarily directed to preteen and teenaged youth, installation youth programs/centers provide information and materials on programs and services available at their new location. Where available, youth can exchange emails, talk on the phone or chat online with other youth. The youth program staff at your new installation can offer more information on installation youth sponsorship programs.
You can also contact your installation School Liaison Program office for information about school-based youth sponsorship programs such as Anchored4Life and Student2Student. These peer-to-peer programs help your student adjust to and navigate their new school.
If your child would like to become a youth sponsor, contact your installation School Liaison Program or youth program/center.

To request a sponsor, please contact the Sponsor Support Office at 831-656-7848. You should have a sponsor before arriving to the instillation.

This website process must be completed prior to your arrival and will greatly reduce your in-processing time once you arrive at the Naval Postgraduate School. User IDs and passwords are emailed out approximately two months before the beginning of the quarter.

Once you have arrived, report to Student Services, located in Herman Hall, Room 33, located in the (basement) of Del Monte Hotel on NPS. The office is open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. and Friday 8:00 am - 2 p.m. Please contact the office prior to arriving as office hours may have changed. Please wear the uniform of the day when arriving. Winter uniforms are required beginning October 1, and summer uniforms are required as of April 1.
Mail in route -- The Student Services Office distributes official mail only. No postal services are provided since it is not an official U.S. Post Office. When notified by email that you have mail to pickup, you'll have five days to do so or the mail will be returned to sender.
Students are required to use their local residence for all personal mail if possible. Combined bachelor quarters residents will need to use the mailing address provided by CBQ personnel check-in. Students who do not have a local residence address or are not residing in CBQ should visit the U.S. Post Office or make the change online to submit a change of address form, (PS Form 3575), or make arrangements to have their mail held until they obtain a local residence address.
