Welcome all incoming freshman to the Boiler Battalion! The week prior to the start of school will be the initial week for Army ROTC. During this week you will learn about the program, customs, and courtesies, obtain your uniforms, and much more. This is an opportunity to get a head start on your ROTC experience and works in conjunction with Purdue's Boiler Gold Rush orientation program.
To join Army ROTC as an incoming freshman, please complete the following steps:
- Work with your advisor to add MSL 101 and Army PES 114 to your schedule.
- Attend Zero Week in August. Once you have registered for these courses through your advisor you will receive a welcome letter providing more details.
- Complete the Army ROTC Intro Survey found below.
- Bring one paper copy of your birth certificate and social security card when you report for Zero Week.
