In-Residence

In-Residence

The In-Residence (IR) phase builds on the material covered in the DL phase. For example, the outlines from the problem essay, heritage essay, and capstone essay are used to produce speeches during the In-Residence phase of the course. The IR methodology includes lectures, seminars, group activities, and physical conditioning.

Arriving

Gate 1 is the only gate that remains open 24 hours. Additionally, if you arrive on a Sunday after hours, everything is pretty much shut down. 

Note: Newport Pell Bridge is a $4.00 toll bridge.

Physical Fitness Program

While you are in Newport, you will be required to perform physical training (PT) both as a class and in your individual groups. Click for more information on our Physical Fitness Program.

Social Functions and Miscellaneous Expenses

Typically, you will attend a Welcome Aboard social reception at the CPO Club during the first week in-residence. This serves as an opportunity to get acquainted with staff and fellow students. Non-alcoholic refreshments and finger-foods are provided, but anything you get from the bar is on you.

Also, as a member of the class, you may choose to incur costs you cannot claim as travel expenses. You can expect to spend approximately $20 per week participating in class activities (e.g., coffee mess, bottled water, gee-dunks, etc.). These expenses alone may total up to $60. Beyond that, paying for items such as group tee shirts, class functions (bar-b-que for example) or class legacy gifts could run higher. Again, paying for these items are a matter of personal choice.

Passports and Visas

In some cases, your ship or unit deployment location may be overseas in an area, which will require you to obtain an official or no-fee passport. This also applies to some overseas duty locations for your family members. YOU MUST APPLY FOR PASSPORT OR VISA FROM YOUR DETACHING NAVPTO. The SEA normally does not process passport requests. In the event you do have passport issues while you are here, you will require the following items to process your passport application(s): birth certificate(s) with raised seal and valid tourist passport(s) (if they are current).

Do not allow your NAVPTO to delay passport processing until the last minute or advise you to delay processing. Processing passport applications is much more difficult at the SEA due to educational requirements--there just aren't that many hours in a day.
