    Congressional Nominations

    In the USAFA and West Point portals, offices can see the MED status, but not in the Naval Academy portal. They can't see anything about why your status is what it is or any files related to it.

    HELP - I have received nomination to all 4 academies.

    They don't need you to have completed your entire application they only need you to be far enough along in your application to appear in their portal. Members of Congress have individual portals with each academy that allow them to submit nominations. Each portal contains a list of all...

    Nomination question

    The address you use on your application with the academy will determine which MOC portal you are routed to and will need to apply for the nomination from. You have some options and should weigh the pros and cons as to which address you use on your applications. For example, how far away is your...

    Nomination Slate Question

    Yes, when submitting nominations we have to first indicate what type of nomination we are doing. It's typically a drop-down menu option in which we can select principal with the rest of the list either ranked or unranked or we can submit a competitive slate. Both USAFA and Naval Academy have...

    Nomination for college re-applicant

    Your nomination source (congressionally) will be tied to the address you list on your application with the academy. You have some options and should weigh the pros and cons as to which address you use. For example, how far away is your home state from your college? Would getting back there for...

    Can USAFA cadets see to which MOC their nominations were ultimately charged?

    Once at USAFA you can find this information out if you ultimately wanted to know as it's part of your file. In the MOC portal, we can see a list of cadets at the academy from our district/state (if Senate). There is also a separate list of who was ultimately charged to our office from the...

    Reflection in Portal

    It wouldn't hurt to let your FFR know. I don't know whether the FFRs have access to this information, but if they can see whether that MOC has posted other noms it would give you an indication of whether you should contact your MOC or not yet. If they've posted other noms email the MOC office...

    Reflection in Portal

    The West Point portal for submitting nominations keeps having issues for MOC offices. They sent an email last week saying it was fixed, but it still didn't work for a lot of people even after the fix.

    LOA do you have to notify your congress member or senator?

    MOC offices know if you've received one as it is listed with your profile in their nominating portal. They are not actively notified by any of the academies, but it's there with their list of nominations.

    Congressional Nomination - End/Beginning of Term

    Senator Booker is running for re-election so if he wins this is a non-issue. If he loses his term doesn't end until Jan 3, 2021. Outgoing Members have the option of how to handle their nominations. They can go through the process like normal and submit slates to the academies for 2025 or they...

    Below is the text of the email we got: "Ladies and Gentlemen, On 6 February we finalized our first wave of offers. These offers were intended to be masked until Tuesday 11 February to give congressional offices time to congratulate their candidates before offers became visible on the candidate...

    Appointment disappearance

    MOC offices got an email this morning notifying us that USMA accidentally unmasked the first wave of appointments that were finalized yesterday, but not intended to be visible in candidates portals until Tues Feb 11th. They re-masked them once they realized they were visible and alerted MOC...

    Academies Aware of MOC Nomination Procedures?

    This scenario isn't possible. It would delegitimize the entire process. Congressional offices that don't submit a slate retain that vacancy slot for the next year. It does mean the academy has an additional slot to fill from their national pool, but that cadet will not be charged to a MOC who...

    How much information do MOC's have?

    We can see nominations from other sources at West Point and the Merchant Marine Academy. We can't see that information for USAFA or the Naval Academy.

    What Does a Senatorial Nomination Code Look Like?

    The easiest answer is to call the academy and inquire about it. Without calling to verify the most likely scenario is that the Senatorial office (IA62) had 2 vacancies this year to fill and submitted your name on both of their slates, thus you received 2 noms from the same office which is why...

    How much information do MOC's have?

    During selection time a majority of the candidate's potential/status is listed as "undetermined" and therefore doesn't typically have an influence on the decision.

    How much information do MOC's have?

    Not presently. The Naval Academy portal just says "NAPS" next to those in the prep school and on USAFA's page it says, "Currently attending USAFA Prep School".

    How much information do MOC's have?

    You will likely get 535 different answers to this question, but we view the information as supplemental to what the applicant gives us directly. When nominations are being determined most of the columns of information are undetermined or empty due to the applicant not completing their academy...
