University of Texas at Dallas
 
   The University of Texas at Dallas offers ARMY ROTC through a cross-enrollment agreement with the University of Texas at Arlington.  What this means is that you register for Army ROTC just like you do for the rest of your classes at UTD, you pay your tuition at UTD, and your UTD transcript will show those classes, but you will attend classes at the University of Texas at Arlington or in accordance to the table below.
 
   The University of Texas at Arlington is the host campus for the Maverick Battalion ROTC Program.  The ROTC Offices are located in College Hall.  The Enrollment Officer is located in Room 109 and the main Department Offices are in the basement down the stairs or elevator.
    
   ROTC cadets spend their time like typical college students.  Freshmen and Sophomores have a fifty minute class one day a week.  Juniors and Seniors go to class twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday for eighty minutes. All cadets participate in the three hour lab on Thursday.

   Once you have decided to Join the Maverick Battalion follow the steps outlined in the Enrollment webpage.  The information below is a handy registration reference for registering for your classes.
  
 ACADEMIC PLACEMENT

   In ROTC, your academic placement is consistent with the year of graduation of your bachelor's degree.  This allows for the best alignment with your peers, advanced summer camp, and leadership positions.  You can see some samples in the Enrollment webpage.
    
REGISTER FOR CLASSES

   Once you know your placement, you can register for classes.  If you are short on time, do not worry, use your best guess and we will review your placement during the first week of class.

 FIRST DAY OF CLASS AND FIRST LAB
 
   The first day as a cadet is a busy day.  You will be received by your instructor who will verify all the enrollment and scholarship paperwork.  The instructor will also explain the basics of ROTC, discuss your class requirements, hand-out the course syllabus, and even start issuing your uniforms and equipment.  Your instructor will be able to answer much of your questions or call on other faculty and staff to help you out.

First lab is just as busy.  In addition to meeting your cadet chain of command, you will receive the basics of drill and ceremony (marching), the formal welcome from the Professor of Military Science and the rest of the faculty and staff, and finish with the traditional BBQ welcome.

Paperwork requirements can be cumbersome, however, you will find all the details and forms in the enrollment webpage.  The more paperwork you can complete on-line and ahead of schedule, the smoother the process will go.
