Prospective Midshipmen
Welcome aboard!
Congratulations on your decision to join the Naval ROTC Unit at Southern University. Below you will find the instructions and forms that must be completed in order to start this Fall.
Medical Qualification
Your highest priority should be to complete the required DODMERB physical (Scholarship Students Only). This is the most time-critical part of getting ready for the fall and should be scheduled as soon as possible in order to have time for remedial examinations or waivers, if necessary. Without satisfactory completion of your medical qualification, you will not be eligible to receive scholarship benefits. You should have received a detailed letter included in your scholarship acceptance package with instructions on how to schedule and complete your physical. If you have any questions or concerns about the DODMERB physical process, contact the unit via email at sunrotc@subr.edu or via phone at (225) 771-3646. College program midshipmen are required to have their primary care physician complete a medical examination and medical history questionnaire in lieu of the DODMERB physical (DD Form 2807-2).
Navy New Student Orientation
The Navy New Student Orientation (NNSO) takes place at the beginning of each fall semester. The next NNSO is scheduled for August 2024. If you have any questions, contact the unit via email at sunrotc@subr.edu or via phone at (225) 771-3646.
