Student Development Course (SDC)
All CCs enroll in SDC each quarter. The objective of SDC is to empower Cadet Candidates to actively pursue their full academic, physical, and military leadership potential at USMAPS in order to better prepare them for success at USMA. Quarters 1 & 2 focus on study strategies and life skills such as time management, note taking, test preparation, goal-setting, and stress management. Quarters 3 & 4 focus on reading skills, such as comprehension and speed, critical thinking, and the transition to USMA.
Advising/Mentoring
The CEP instructors meet with CCs one-on-one and in small group sessions for individualized assistance in performance enhancement strategies and life-skills, and to track academic progress. The CEP also coordinates the CC Development Teams (CDTs), which are specific to each CC and comprised of the student’s CEP, English and Math instructors, TAC, and coach. These CDTs monitor individual CC’s performance and ensure that no CC “falls through the cracks.”
Tutoring/Study Groups
The CEP coordinates tutoring and “study buddies” to assist CCs in achieving academic success.
