4 APPLICATION PROCEDURES FOR IN-RESIDENCE COURSES PRETC values our multinational partnerships and takes seriously our responsibility to help build interoperability, capability, and capacity. PRETC in-residence courses include four international (non-u.s.) student quotas per class. PRETC will determine international student acceptance based on JPRA multinational engagement and U.S. Theater Strategic priorities. PRETC will allocate in-residence international student quotas based on the following process: All international students interested in attending a PRETC in-residence course must make the request through the Security Cooperation Organization (SCO) at the U.S. Embassy within that student s country, and provide the information below*** related to requirements. The SCO will work with the U.S. Naval Education Training and Security Assistance Field Activity (NETSAFA) to determine funding and coordinate quota demands, availability, and confirmation with PRETC. This process is vital to capture requirements. Up to half of the quotas from each class in a fiscal year will be allocated on July 1st of the preceding fiscal year, based on input to PRETC from the SCOs and NETSAFA. This will allow for long-term planning. The other half of the annual quotas will be allocated quarterly, three months in advance. October- December quotas will be allocated by July 1st. January-March quotas will be allocated by Oct 1st. April-June quotas will be allocated by January 1st. July-September quotas will be allocated by April 1st. This will allow some flexibility for emerging requirements, while allowing enough lead time to complete international student preparation requirements. See page 5 for specific registration deadlines by course date. Immediately following student allocation decisions, the PRETC Registrar will request individual student names from NETSAFA and the SCOs. When names and contact information are received, PRETC Registrar will send confirmation information to the selected individuals via . All students must reply, confirming (or cancelling) attendance. Because of the limited international student quotas available, it is important to understand the Target Audience and Course Goal. In general, PR 300 focuses on coordinating the five PR Execution Tasks (Report, Locate, Support, Recover, and Reintegrate). In contrast, PR 350 focuses on PR planning at the operational level. Note: Please consider requesting classes in the first two quarters of the fiscal year (October through March) for greater availability, as classes in April through September have historically been in higher demand. *** Student request information. Please provide the following information to the SCO: Student nationality Nation sponsoring the student (if different from student nationality) Student name and rank/paygrade (if the specific student is known) and/or duty position Is the duty position national, or in a multinational organization (please describe) Course and class date requested How will the PRETC course help to satisfy requirements? For the SCO / PR OPR / JPRA Representative, what is the relevance of this request to the theater security cooperation plans or other strategy? Once a class seat is approved ensure Invitational Travel Orders (ITOs) are received at PRETC NLT 1 week prior to the class start date. These ITOs will serve as our method of verifying your clearance. 4
