All for One Battalion

Xavier University is the host school for Xavier Army ROTC. Through our affiliate programs, you may also attend school at Miami University, Northern Kentucky University, Thomas More University, and Mount Saint Joseph University. 

Joining ROTC (Enrollment)

ROTC is a college course that you enroll in just as you would any other course at college. Once you have enrolled in ROTC through the University, we will have much more enrollment paperwork to fill out to fully participate in ROTC and to be considered for a scholarship/contract. Space for qualified Cadets is very limited these days. If your plan is to skip the first year and enroll in your sophomore year you may be too late.  Contact Mr. Faulkner as early as possible to ensure you are setup for success!!

Northern Kentucky University, Mount Saint Joseph University, and Thomas More University

To register for ROTC classes at one of our affiliate schools start at the Registrar of the affiliate school. Tell them you want to take Military Science / ROTC classes at Xavier through the Consortium. Fill out the Consortium Cross-Registration Form from the affiliate school and bring that form to the Registrar at Xavier located in the Musketeer Mezzanine in Justice Hall. The Xavier Registrar will process your paperwork then you must return the form back to the affiliate school Registrar. By doing this your transcripts will include your ROTC classes.

Miami University

Miami University Cadets are now part of All For One-North, a manned affiliate. As such, they attend PT, Military Science classes, and Military Science lab with our cadre at the MU campus. Red Hawk Cadets can register through the Miami Banner as they would any other class at Miami. Interested current and future students should contact CPT Keegan Alldredge (alldrekd@miamioh.edu) or Mr. John McDonald (mcdonajw@miamioh.edu) for more information.
