OVERVIEW
The Web-Enabled Program is offered to eligible students located throughout the world.
The program is closely aligned with the College of Naval Command and Staff curriculum
and the Fleet Seminar Program. The diploma program is designed to be completed in
about 18-24 months. Because of the substantial amount of time required for each
course, a request for enrollment constitutes the commitment on the part of the student
of a minimum of two study periods of three or more hours each week. In order to
be eligible for the College’s June graduation, students must complete all requirements
by 30 April in the year they wish to be listed in the graduation literature.

*First week in all web-enabled elective courses is an orientation to Blackboard. This is required for new students.
Electives are designed for students taking core courses in the evening Fleet Seminar Program, and are not required for JPME Phase I. |
During this course of study, the student will submit a variety of written assignments
in the form of assessments, answers to multiple choice questions, and essays. Time
limits for submission of written materials are specified in individual syllabi.
Neither partial submissions nor multiple submissions are acceptable.
Partial submissions will not be reviewed, nor do they satisfy a completion deadline.
Students who do not meet submission deadlines will be disenrolled from the program.
Written requirements are evaluated to first determine if the student has demonstrated
an understanding of the basic principles and concepts the course is designed to
convey. They will then be evaluated in terms of logical development and, in some
cases, depth of analysis. These reviews are intended to be a continuation of the
learning process for all students. Study materials for each module/block should
not be returned to the College until these reviews are received.

Materials
The College provides all study materials for the core courses on a loan basis. The administration and handling of materials varies depending on the course.
For the Web-Enabled Program, students will receive material via U. S. Mail. The materials for each course will be distributed well in advance of course start date. These materials should be retained until the student completes the course or is disenrolled. Mailing labels and envelopes are provided for the return of submissions and study materials. Students should refrain from marking any materials that must be returned. Specific instructions on which materials must be returned are included with the shipment of material for each course.
Students will be billed for replacement of unreturned materials and no student will receive credit for a course until all materials have been returned. Many students wish to purchase their course materials directly from us; unfortunately, regulations preclude this.
System Recommendations
Your computer should have the minimum equivalent of a Pentium III processor with Windows 2000 or XP operating system. The computer should also have at least a 56K baud modem (higher or direct internet connection is recommended)
You will also need the following hardware, software, and plug-ins:
- DVD Drive
- Sound card with speakers or headphones
- Internet browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later)
- Internet service capable of running Internet Explorer
- Microsoft Office 2003 (specifically MS Word and PowerPoint or PowerPoint Viewer)
- Adobe Acrobat Reader
- Flash 5, QuickTime 6, and MS Media Players
- Java Plug-in (for Chat feature only)
Enrollment Procedures
An online application must be submitted each time the student wishes to enroll in a web-enabled course. (Continuing students must also reapply using this form to be considered for their next course, although they will have a higher priority for actually receiving a seat.) The application will require student and bio information. All applications must be filled out accurately and completely, at least eight weeks prior to the course scheduled start date, for proper consideration.
DISENROLLMENT
a. Disenrollment may be either voluntary or involuntary.
(1) Students are encouraged to disenroll voluntarily when the constraints of time
and circumstance preclude course/module/block completion within the periods recommended.
Requests should be in writing stating the reasons. These reasons for disenrollment
are helpful in the review of administrative procedures and course content. Such
disenrollments are without prejudice.
(2) Involuntary disenrollments are initiated by the Naval War College as a result
of student failure to meet deadlines or academic standards. Prompt return of books
and compliance with course deadlines is essential to ensure adequate availability
of course materials for other students.
REENROLLMENT
a. A student who voluntarily disenrolls will be given consideration for reenrollment
upon receipt of a written email to request to the Web-enabled Program Manager.
b. In those cases of involuntary disenrollment, each request will be considered
on its own merits. Reenrollment requests in this case must be by letter to the Director
including an explanation of circumstances involved.
c. In either case, credit will normally be given for prior modules/blocks satisfactorily
completed unless there has been a substantial revision in the interim, or an extensive
delay since disenrollment.
If you have additional questions,
Enrollment and subsequent administrative forms request certain information from
potential students to facilitate enrollment or other processing in connection with
program administration. Students are expected to keep the College informed
regarding their current address, parent command, email address and other student
information.
