CDET ENLISTED SEMINAR SCHEDULES
Seminar Schedules
CDET's regional offices work with each student to determine a schedule that best fits their educational goals and the constraints of their personal time. At the end of a program's enrollment period, the regional office for each region creates a set of seminar schedules to accommodate the students as much as possible while meeting the requirements of the seminar. This ensures that each seminar has an appropriate class size and a variety of MOSs to encourage discussion and interaction.
Three types of seminar schedules are offered for the ECDEP seminar programs. These schedules deliver each seminar program's curriculum over a period of 15 weeks as per the AY24 Enlisted College DEP academic calendar. Classes run concurrently across all regions (i.e., on the same weeks for weekday and online seminars, and on the same months for weekend seminars).
ECDEP seminar programs are not self-paced courses. Students are graded on class contributions, weekly quizzes, writing assignments, presentations, and forum participation.
All students require access to a computer and the internet while participating in a seminar program. Online portions of seminars are done via MarineNet Moodle.
