Acceptance Possibly Revoked?

One would hope USAFA is willing to grant you some grace period. Send it immediately and see what happens

If you are unaware, you are about to receive a packet of forms either through the mail or electronically. Read them, complete them and be aware of the date due back.

Keep a copy of everything and bring with you to I Day
 
Just saw the letter!! If I fax it in tonight will they withdraw my appointment?

Everyone calm down. USAFA is *not* going to rescind any appointments because the appointee is late submitting his/her criminal records release form.

There is a reason USAFA asks for the forms to be returned within 14 days of the appointment offer (whether the appointee has accepted or not). The reason is purely manpower related. It takes time to run these reviews, and the last thing Admissions wants is to have a thousand to complete during the month of May. By asking for the releases early Admissions can spread out the workload. Hence the deadline, though real, is "soft" and USAFA will not revoke any appointments if the deadline isn't met.

Once an appointee accepts the appointment (if before the records release is returned), he or she will then have the option of uploading the form (in addition to the email, fax, or mail options). Uploading is by far the most reliable way to ensure the form gets into the file accurately and quickly.

There are other deadlines that are much more serious (and they are noted on the appointee kit itself).

In the meantime, please get your release to USAFA as soon as you can, but don't stress if you accidentally missed the deadline.

We sent ours in before the due date. How do you know they received it? Will your portal update because his has not. Thanks
 
Thanks Insider for calming everyone down. Also, a learning lesson for all appointees on this forum... copy and/or scan everything before sending in. This is a learning lesson as a future military member. Paperwork often gets lost or misplaced, having a copy of a document, eval, award, etc can save you many times.

Portal does update. It will say that the criminal records form has been received. It takes a while so give it time
