1. How to complete an AFROTC IMT 48 Planned Academic Program

2. Why complete a Form 48?
The Form 48 reflects a tentative schedule of all courses (including summer terms, PNA, extended status, co-op, field training, and terms abroad) to be taken from the time of enlistment until commissioning.
Det personnel must ensure each cadet’s academic program is realistic.
Once the academic plan is established, all cadets must have their academic plan reevaluated and recertified by their academic advisor every Fall term.
The academic plan must be completed before an applicant may compete for an allocation or scholarship.

3. Why complete a Form 48?
College Scholarship Program (CSP) winners from the 4-year scholarship board, including 3-year guaranteed winners, may complete it as soon as practical after the start of the academic year, but not later than the end of the AS 100 fall term.
Ensure cadets AFROTC specifies a minimum of 12 hours for undergraduate courses and 9 hours for graduate level courses, including AFROTC courses.
Ensure cadets do not exceed 1 academic year in “completed status.” A Period of Non-attendance is not authorized in lieu of completed status.

4. How to complete a Form 48
Prepare the AFROTC IMT 48 in pencil--signatures must be in blue or black ink.
Minors and double majors CANNOT be reflected on the academic plan if doing such will impose on satisfying program objectives (receiving a baccalaureate degree). Cadets are authorized to pursue a double major or obtain a minor only upon receiving an academic plan signed by an academic advisor establishing a valid date of commission for ONE major.
Adding additional hours must not place the cadet at risk of taking too many hours a term or require unnecessary terms in extended status; or, change the already established commissioning date.

5. How to complete a Form 48
Ensure the determined date of commissioning (DOC) and date of graduation (DOG) are realistic; many technical majors take 4 ½ to 5 years to complete. A cadet in an academic program that is traditionally 4 1/2 or 5 years in length should have a DOG and DOC reflecting that reality.
Block 6. LEAVE BLANK UNTIL JUST PRIOR TO COMMISSIONING AND SIGN WHEN ALL PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS TO GRADUATE HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. Cadet must sign and date certifying all degree requirements have been successfully completed and graduation will occur as stated in Block 5.

SIGN WHEN ALL PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS TO GRADUATE
HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. Cadet must sign and date certifying all degree
requirements have been successfully completed and graduation will occur as
stated in Block 5.

21. Maintenance, Re-evaluation, and Re-accomplishment
Retain the academic plan as a permanent record.
Corrections and revisions are acceptable. Make course changes by adding the new course in pen or pencil and lining out or erasing the changed course.
Maintain only the current (complete) academic plan in the cadet’s record.
All other existing copies may be destroyed upon approval of change.
When requesting a new major through HQ AFROTC/RRFP, DO NOT discard the old IMT 48 until the new major has been approved.

22. Re-evaluation of Academic Plan
Once an academic plan is established; at a minimum, all cadets must have their academic plan reevaluated and recertified by their academic advisor every subsequent Fall term.
During fall reevaluations, the academic advisor will review entire academic plan to ensure cadet is still on schedule to receive a degree and to graduate as indicated on the academic plan; or, make any necessary changes.
Upon reevaluating the academic plan, the academic advisor will sign/date in the “Remarks” section of the academic plan in the appropriate fall term the review is conducted.

23. Re-accomplishment
A cadet is required to re-accomplish the entire academic plan only when the cadet changes academic major, changes institutions, or requires a DOG and DOC change to a new fiscal year.
To re-accomplish an academic plan, begin with the current term and then complete each additional term to graduation.
