GUIDED REGISTRATION

Once your student has been accepted to Army and Navy Academy, it’s easy to get ready for move-in with our step-by-step guided registration process. Just follow the steps below to prepare!

REGISTRATION PROCESS

The guided registration process is meant to make things simple for new and returning families who are preparing to have their students join us. This process will help you set your student up for success by virtually visiting with departments across the campus and following the steps needed for them to prepare for your student’s arrival. All steps of this guided registration process must be completed or your student will be ineligible to move in. If you are experiencing any issues with completing a step, please contact the involved department so that they can help with clearance.

Hello there! My name is Tighe Lythgoe. I’m the Community Outreach Assistant for the Office of Admission. If you encounter any issues during guided registration, please contact me at 760.547.5195 or by emailing admission@armyandnavyacademy.org.

STEP 1: FINANCE

Financial Services is here to help with any payment questions you may have throughout this registration process and throughout the year.

Army and Navy Academy partners with FACTS Tuition Management as our tuition management solution. All families must establish a tuition account with FACTS and process your prepayment deposits for the incidental and Cadet Store accounts through FACTS.

To contact the Finance Office, please email financialservices@armyandnavyacademy.org or call 760.547.5265.

FACTS TUITION MANAGEMENT

Please establish your tuition account with FACTS Tuition Management.

  • Create your FACTS account HERE.
  • Enroll in a payment plan. Families of Fall Domestic Cadets can choose to pay in 8 monthly installments beginning in July. International families and Spring arrivals must pay in a single installment unless they have made specific arrangements to the contrary with Financial Services.

Once a payment plan has been selected, FACTS will have you process a non-refundable tuition deposit of $2,500 to complete your student’s enrollment. Financial Services will then complete your tuition agreement. FACTS will email a confirmation containing your tuition breakdown schedule. Any additional credits and financial assistance will be applied only after initial agreement is finalized.

INCIDENTAL ACCOUNT

FACTS will send an invitation to process your initial incidental account prepayment prior to your arrival on campus. Charges your student incurs are billed against this prepayment throughout the year. When your account reaches a credit balance of $50, you will receive an alert to load it with additional funds.

This account is typically charged for school-related fees incurred by your student, such as but not limited to the following: Learning Strategies, Health Center medication fees, physician copays, ACT/SAT testing and preparation, transportation expenses, sports, school trips, weekend activities, late fees, and room damages.

CADET STORE PREPAYMENT

The Cadet Store prepayment is $5,500 for new families and $3,200 for returning families. This amount is assessed based on the estimated cost of uniforms, textbooks, haircuts, and a school-provisioned Chromebook.

Senior Families: This estimate does not include the cost of Senior Dress Whites, which cost around $1,500.

Leftover funds will remain in your student’s bookstore account, which your student can use for additional purchases at the Cadet Store. Charges your student incurs at the Cadet Store will be billed against this account. When your account reaches a credit balance of $100, you will receive an alert to upload additional funds. If your account reaches $0, your student will have to use cash or a credit card at the Cadet Store.

LAUNDRY PREPAYMENT

The Laundry Prepayment is $750 for Boarding cadets and $200 for Day Cadets. Funds are due directly to the Academy, they will be visible on FACTS and notification of charges will go directly to parents. You can communicate with the laundry department at laundry@armyandnavyacademy.org. These funds are due prior to move-in date.

ADDITIONAL FEES

FACTS will send separate invoices for yearly required payments like your student’s Associated Student Body (ASB) membership and your Army and Navy Academy Patrons’ Association (ANAPA) fees. You will also receive additional invoices for any special programs that apply to your student.

STEP 2: ACADEMICS

The Academics department is responsible for challenging your student intellectually and supporting his unique educational needs. We also manage Counseling, which oversees your student’s emotional wellbeing while on campus and sets your student up for collegiate success through college and career planning services. Our student information system, Aeries, is a central repository for your student’s grades, disciplinary history, and attendance.

To contact Academics, please email registrar@armyandnavyacademy.org or call 760.547.5191.

AERIES

Army and Navy Academy uses Aeries to track grades, citizenship, and family contact information. Some of the benefits of Aeries include facilitating real-time grade checks, staying current on homework and classwork, and communicating with faculty about your student’s performance. You must complete your online enrollment through Aeries prior to your student’s move-in day.

We recommend that you use Google Chrome on a desktop computer to complete this process.

New families have a variety of language options for completing this process, including English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean. We only accept student documents in English.

AERIES PARENT PORTAL

Army and Navy Academy uses Aeries to track grades, citizenship, and family contact information. Prior to your son’s move-in date, you will receive an email from registrar@armyandnavyacademy.org with instructions to set up your permanent Aeries Parent Portal account. During this process you will need to add at least one emergency contact and you may also set up weekly auto-generated progress emails.

Parents of siblings who currently attend ANA do not need to create an additional parent portal; their newly enrolled son can be added to their existing parent portal. New cadets will receive a similar set up email to their new ANA email account to assist them in setting up their Aeries Student Portal, after they arrive on-campus.

Throughout the school year, please continue to keep your contact information up-to-date in Aeries. We use the information in Aeries for all family communications. Failing to keep your information current will result in missed communication from the Academy.

CLASS SCHEDULE

For questions about your student’s schedule, please schedule a virtual meeting with his counselor before your move-in day. Please contact your student’s counselor for assistance. Student course requests will be confirmed on move-in days. Classes will not be finalized until just prior to the first day of school.

STEP 3: HEALTH CENTER

The Health Center’s primary role on campus is ensuring the health and wellbeing of your student. This includes managing mandatory medications for students, keeping the Academy community apprised of ongoing health-related information, and caring for students who are injured or ill. The Health Center uses Magnus, an electronic Student Health Management software, to store and communicate information about your student’s health in a secure, safe manner. 

To contact the Health Center, please email health@armyandnavyacademy.org or call 760.547.5215.

MAGNUS HEALTH

Magnus Health is used to capture, store and share your cadet’s medical history and health records. All forms referred to below can be downloaded from the Magnus Health Portal.

Please set up filtering rules in your email inbox to prevent Magnus emails from going to spam. Your initial email from Magnus will contain your family’s username and temporary password.

Magnus has a smartphone app that can be used from Android and Apple devices. Please download it on the Play Store or App Store. Instructions for setting up the app can be found here.

You must upload your forms into the portal once they are completed. Please contact Magnus directly with any technical support issues regarding their app or website. They can be reached at 877.461.6831. The company is headquartered on the East Coast and their response times may vary.

REQUIRED SUBMISSIONS

Please follow the guidelines below when completing various sections of the Magnus enrollment process:

Tuberculosis Screening. A negative tuberculosis (TB) test result is required for all first-year students, as well as any student who has recently resided in or visited a foreign country for 30 days or more. Results must be within 30 days of arriving on campus.

Vital Health Record. This is a series of medical history questions that allow us to identify, care, and treat your student armed with up-to-date medical history and information. This section also requires medical practitioner information and proof of active health insurance.

Asthma. If your student has asthma, please explain his condition in detail. You will need to have your medical practitioner (MD, DO, or NP) provide an Asthma Action Plan form and a practitioner signature. You will also need to provide the necessary inhalers and one (1) peak flow meter. The Health Center recommends two (2) rescue inhalers: one for the student to keep on his person and one to store in the Health Center.

Allergies. Please clearly state all food, environmental, and medicinal allergies, and clarify if your student requires an EpiPen for severe allergies. If so, you must provide two (2) EpiPens: one to be stored in the Health Center and one for your student to carry on his person at all times. If applicable, you must provide a practitioner signature.

Seasonal Flu Vaccine. We strongly recommend that you opt in for this vaccine as students are regularly in close quarters with one another during flu season. If your student does not receive the vaccine and develops flu-like symptoms, he must recuperate off-campus at home or with a local guardian and return with a letter of clearance from a medical practitioner.

Forms. You must complete all required forms, including: Consent to Treat, Medical and Therapeutic Compliance, HIPAA, Prescription Medication Policy, California Code of Regulations, and Medication Authorization Form. Some forms are to be completed by a licensed medical provider and some are for the parent/guardian. In Magnus, a parent/guardian may sign via electronic signature. With respect to the Medication Authorization form, special conditions apply to all epi-pens, inhalers, prescription drugs and over-the-counter vitamins, supplements, etc.

Physical Examination with Sports Clearance. A sports physical is required prior to your student’s move-in. This form must be the Academy’s current-year form, and it must be completed by a medical practitioner (MD, DO, or NP). This document is required annually, and you must arrange to renew this document if it expires during the school year.

Immunizations. We adhere to the immunization requirements of the state of California. Please provide and upload up-to-date documentation in Magnus Health for review. Any requested exemptions must be processed through CAIR-ME. We highly recommend the 2-dose hepatitis A vaccine, but it is not required.

STEP 4: ATHLETICS

For your student’s safety and success, you must complete several athletic forms required to support his athletic participation at the Academy. Some forms are required for Academy internal use, while others are mandated by the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF). The Academy is a proud member of CIF, which governs the majority of sports in which we compete against other schools.

To contact Athletics, please email nbrunson@armyandnavyacademy.org or call 760.547.5259.

FORMS

Please ensure that you have completed the following forms prior to your student’s arrival for campus move-in:

Army and Navy Academy Athletics Form. This form can be downloaded HERE and provides authorization for your cadet to participate in sports at the Academy. For informational purposes, it contains a checklist of items required for each of the Fall sports.

CIF Ethics and Sports Form. This form is required by CIF for all student athletes. Please download it HERE. You and your athlete must sign the form.

Cadets who are in 10th grade or above must also complete the following:

CIF Full Family Move Documentation Checklist. This form must be completed and all steps checked. It details the process of moving your athlete between schools. It can be downloaded HERE.

CIF Form 510 – Pre-Enrollment Contact Affidavit. This form is a mandatory affidavit indicating that the Academy took no steps to recruit your student athletically prior to completion of the enrollment process. It can be downloaded HERE.

CIF Change of Address Form. This form is used to validate your student’s change of address. It can be downloaded HERE.

All required forms must be signed by the mandated parties, scanned, and emailed to athletics@armyandnavyacademy.org.

STEP 5: ADVANCEMENT

Army and Navy Academy’s rich history is built upon the generous support of our donors. Tuition revenue alone cannot cover our slate of innovative and engaging programs, historic beachfront campus, and world-class faculty and staff. When our community comes together to support the Academy, our students see the benefit, and your generosity changes student lives and future trajectories. We encourage families to give according to their individual capability. 

To contact the Office of Advancement, please email advancement@armyandnavyacademy.org or call 760.547.5208.

GIVING

Spanning more than a century of academic excellence, military tradition and leadership development, the history of Army and Navy Academy runs deep and is multi-faceted. However, the history is incomplete without acknowledging the philanthropy that was, and is, interwoven to make ANA the place for boys to be bold.

Beginning in 1950, when Academy benefactors Arthur and Gertrude Anderson gifted Army and Navy Academy the prime beachfront property where the school still resides, the Academy relies on the generosity of the entire ANA community to ensure the continuous education of tomorrow’s leaders.

Throughout the years, Cadets have benefited from the gifts given to further them and their journey at ANA. Gifts to the academy have supported, and continue to support, financial assistance to Cadets whose families otherwise would not be able to afford an ANA education, the construction and upcoming renovation of the campus facilities, a robust and rewarding athletics program, and recruiting and retaining highly skilled faculty, staff, and former military personnel.

To learn more about opportunities to support the Academy, please visit our Giving page.

STAY INFORMED

Throughout the school year, the Academy hosts a wide range of events for students and families. You will always find the most up-to-date information regarding events from the following lines of communication:

The Daily Bulletin is updated Monday through Friday while school is in session. This important bulletin tells you everything that is happening on campus for a given day.

The Weekly Warrior is our weekly school newsletter. It is emailed to the addresses you have on file in Aeries. If you are not receiving the Weekly Warrior, please contact marketing@armyandnavyacademy.org so we can help troubleshoot.

STEP 6: ANAPA

Army and Navy Academy has a colorful community of patrons. We consider the term “patrons” to encompass parents, guardians, and family members of our students. As a patron, you are automatically a member of the Army and Navy Academy Patrons’ Association, commonly referred to as ANAPA. Throughout the year, ANAPA helps parents to stay involved on campus to support our students and enjoy community events.

To contact ANAPA, please email anapa@armyandnavycademy.org.

WHAT WE DO

Being a patron at Army and Navy Academy is a unique experience. Some of us are dealing with students boarding away from home. Many of our patrons are distant from the day-to-day activities and may be as much as a plane ride away. The ‘military’ piece of the program is most likely new to you, and you have invested financially, mentally, and emotionally in an educational path for your sons that you cannot always closely oversee. You have high hopes for your student as he embarks on this chapter of his life.

Every single one of your elected ANAPA representatives has been in your shoes. Our primary goal is to support you as you navigate the Army and Navy Academy experience!

We aim to:

  • Provide information and answer questions
  • Represent your interests to the Board of Trustees and school leadership
  • Facilitate patron-to-patron communication, a sense of community, and camaraderie
  • Offer both local and remote opportunities to get involved with cadet life enrichment, social connection, and staff appreciation

ANAPA participation provides a wonderful opportunity to be educated about and engage in the life of the school. Here are a few ways to stay connected:

  • Attend ANAPA meetings, which will be held on Closed Weekends
  • Connect with your ANAPA Patron Ambassador
  • Read all communications from ANAPA, your Ambassador, and the Academy
  • Sign up for the private ANAPA Facebook Group

We are here for you! Our first and foremost goal is to enhance your experience while supporting the school’s mission, vision, and values.

GET INVOLVED

There are multiple ways to get involved:

Patron Welcome Reception on Move-In Day. Move-In days are BIG events and ANAPA wants to provide you an opportunity to connect with ANAPA leadership and fellow parents. We’d also like to ensure you have a chance to learn more about ANAPA’s plan for the new year and let us know how you’d like to be involved. ANAPA will have a booth at every move-in event. Come visit with us!

ANAPA Meetings. ANAPA hosts in-person meetings on Closed Weekends to update parents on upcoming campus events, Cadet activities, volunteer opportunities, and Academy news.

ANAPA Facebook Group. This group is facilitated by ANAPA leaders. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for Cadets at Army and Navy Academy and we look forward to reconnecting with returning families and welcoming new families into the Warrior Family — please share your energy, ideas, talents, and contributions!

Volunteering. SignUp Genius announcements will be sent to patrons via email and will include both in-person AND remote opportunities to volunteer! Don’t despair if you are not local to the Academy; there WILL be ways for you to contribute and participate.

PARENT AMBASSADORS

Our Ambassador program joins with the ANAPA Board to provide a cohesive sense of community and connection amongst Academy patrons. They provide each family a point of connection, support, and information about the patron experience for prospective, new, and long-term patrons.

They also provide a line of communication and outreach between the Academy through ANAPA to prospective and current families to enhance understanding and comfort.

Each family will be assigned an Ambassador; if you do not receive communication from your Ambassador within the first two weeks after your son’s Move-In Day, please contact us at anapa@armyandnavyacademy.org.

STEP 7: RESIDENTIAL LIFE

Whether your student is a Boarding Cadet or a Day Cadet, we’d like to help you get prepared for his time on campus. We call our residential life department Cadet Life. The Cadet Life staff mentor, train, and coach your student outside of the classroom, cultivating a sense of personal responsibility and self-discipline in every student. Our TAC (Trainer, Advisor, Coach) are experts in youth development who will be a primary point of contact for you and your student during your time with us.

To contact Residential Life, please email operations@armyandnavyacademy.org or call 760.547.5223.

PACKING LIST

Your student will receive an initial issue of uniform items and other essentials on his move-in day. Civilian attire is not authorized on campus after move-in. We recommend that you take any civilian attire with you when you drop off your student. To set your student up for success, we recommend the following items. Your student will receive an issue of bed sheets and a pillow upon arrival and these do not need to be packed.

Prohibited Items: electric blankets, weapons of any kind, skateboards, expensive jewelry, small kitchen appliances including hot pots, dietary supplements (protein powder, creatine, preworkout, etc.)

Army and Navy Academy does not carry insurance on the property of cadets and accepts no liability for lost, damaged, or stolen personal property.
