We commend the cadets and cadre on their determination and commitment throughout Cadet Basic Training and Re-organization week. We look forward to welcoming parents, family members and friends for Acceptance Day. Acceptance Day is the day the new cadets will be accepted into the Corps.

The Acceptance Day Parade will take place at 10 a.m. on The Plain.

The parade features the entire brigade of approximately 4400 cadets. Members of the Class of 2027 officially become plebes during the parade. The new cadets march out separately from the rest of their companies, but at a certain point during the parade an order will be given for the companies to open and the new cadets to join the ranks, being accepted into the Corps.

If traveling with guests needing handicapped accommodations, please know handicapped accessible parking is limited in the area of the Plain. You may wish to drop off your guests near the bleachers and park in other lots or along Thayer Road. Shuttle buses will be available to transport guests to The Plain from the Buffalo Soldier Parking lot for the parade on Saturday and around West Point / Visitor Center Saturday and Sunday throughout the day

Hats, sunscreen, and bottled water are recommended depending on the forecast. Point of etiquette for the parade -- please remain seated until all cadets have departed the Plain.
