Enrollment Eligibility and Participation Contract
The following criteria are used for determining eligibility and participation in the
MCJROTC PROGRAM.
Academic Grades: Students should possess a cumulative 2.0 (“C”) grade point average.
Those not meeting these criteria may be allowed to enroll on the recommendation of the
Senior Marine Instructor (SMI) and Marine Instructor (MI) with the approval of the
Principal. Enrollment for students with less than a cumulative (“C”) grade point average
will be probationary. Probationary students will be required to demonstrate improvement
in their grade point average, to pass all courses required for graduation, and to be actively
working to achieve a cumulative 2.0 (‘C”) average in order to be removed from
probationary status. Cadets, that receive a “D” or below in a marking period report card
will be assigned to the Cadet Tutoring Program.
Physical Training (PT) : Cadets are expected to actively strive to meet Marine Corps
personal appearance standards. Cadets will participate in weekly PT sessions, as a means
to achieve standards of the National Youth Fitness Program and to pass the USMC
Physical Fitness Test. Failure to put forth a sincere effort during PT or wear the
prescribed uniform determined by the SMI/MI will adversely affect their weekly PT
grade.
Military Appearance: Cadets will PROPERLY WEAR their issued MCJROTC
uniform on assigned days. During classes they will be INSPECTED and receive a
weekly inspection grade.
Military Service: Participation in this program DOES NOT mean the student is
OBLIGATED to serve in the MILITARY. Successful completion of the MCJROTC
PROGRAM DOES NOT GUARANTEE acceptance in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Participation-Commitment: To gain total benefit from this program the cadet should be
an active participant in small unit leadership activities such as Color Guard, Drill Team,
Rifle Team, and other activities such as PARADES, COMMUNITY SERVICE and
FUND RAISING EVENTS. Participation & Commitment is a clear indication of the
cadet’s development as a leader in this program. We encourage cadets to balance the
attainment of good grades with participation with MCJROTC and school activities.
Personal Conduct: Cadets are expected to exhibit exemplary character as ambassadors
of this program and Transylvania County Schools. Conduct that RESULTS in
suspension or detention reflects poorly on the individual cadet and the Corps of Cadets
and will not be CONDONED. Cadets are to be respectful to all faculty and staff
members. They will not disobey, ignore, or be disrespectful in language, tone of voice or
gesture. No forms of hazing or sexual harassment will be tolerated. Cadets will respect
the rights of other cadets. Cadets will not use tobacco, alcohol or drugs. MCJROTC
promotes the development of integrity and honorable citizenship. The Honor Code
forbids, lying, cheating, stealing and acts of plagiarism. Violations will be dealt with
according to the administration guidelines.

Fairness, Firmness, and Dignity: All MCJROTC Cadets will be treated with
fairness, firmness and dignity by the SMI/MI. Cadets must conduct themselves in a
manner that reflects POSITIVELY on TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY SCHOOLS and
the MCJROTC PROGRAM. Conduct contrary to the aforementioned will result in
dismissal from the PROGRAM.
