Tickets are now available for dining with your cadet in the Cadet Mess Hall! Tickets are required for guests only; cadets do not require one. Please make sure to check with your cadet to ensure they have not already purchased tickets. All ticket sales are final and non-refundable. We understand that plans can change, but each ticket purchase helps us plan accordingly and covers the cost of additional food prepared by the mess hall to meet demand. Ticket sales end on Sept. 29.

Please note that both the Quarters 100 tours and boat tours are first come, first served.

Please coordinate with your cadet to attend a class or tour requiring a cadet escort.
