Housing

MILITARY STUDENTS

* Military Students Without Dependents - There is no permanent party berthing for officers. Permanent party/bonafide bachelor officer personnel will draw basic allowance for housing and reside in the community.

* Military Students With Dependents - Military students attending the CNW (College of Naval Warfare) are normally housed in the Fort Adams (Newport) area. Those attending the CNC&S (College of Naval Command and Staff) are normally assigned in the Coddington Cove housing area. The NWC Housing Office coordinates occupancy and processes applications. Housing is assigned on the basis of seniority and family composition per CNO ltr 11101 Ser 157/248 of 6 Jan 89. Student quarters are exempt from the provisions of reference OPNAVINST 11101.13J concerning eligibility for quarters after completion of the course. Effective November 2004, government quarters at Naval Station Newport has been contracted to a civilian organization for operation. Their website is www.navstanewporthomes.com. There you will find FAQs, copies of the lease and points of contact.

IMPORTANT NOTES to INCOMING STUDENTS

* Although extension requests are considered on a case by case basis, all students should plan on vacationing student quarters upon graduation to accommodate students in the incoming class.

* Students arriving in Jan/Feb and Oct/Nov are often faced with waits before they are able to occupy government housing. This is due to the overlap of graduating and reporting classes. Alternate arrangements including the Navy Lodge are strongly encouraged.
