Gate Access

NPS is an active and secure property of the United States Department of Defense. Therefore, access to campus is restricted.

Your program coordinator will contact you before your course start date to collect some personal information, including your full name and passport number. This information is used to place you on the "Gate Access List," a document that NPS security professionals will use to grant you access to campus.

When you proceed to the "Sloat Avenue Entrance" to NPS, you will be asked to present both your passport and a copy of your Invitational Travel Orders (ITO). Please keep these documents on your person at all times while visting NPS, and they will be needed each time you plan to enter campus.
