STUDENT SERVICES

NPS Student Services is a student-centered team of professionals committed to empowering students to achieve their educational and personal goals. The Department of Student Services office provides administrative and military support services to students during their course of study at the Naval Postgraduate School.

REGISTRAR

Upon arriving at NPS, students arriving with orders in hand must check in at the registrar’s office. As the registrar maintains the school’s official academic records, students are obliged to respond to that office on all matters pertaining to courses and grades, and students are responsible for meeting all deadlines for adds, withdrawals, incompletes, thesis submissions, etc. A student’s academic record is his or her own responsibility, and it must not be assumed that professors, program officers or others are taking care of these matters. The registrar’s staff welcomes conscientious attention to these important details through visits to its office.
