Although a session was hosted last night, for anyone that thought it was tonight we will host a second one. If you attended last night, there is no need to attend again.

All cadets enrolled in Online Ground School;
The deadline to complete the exam has been extended to 2359hrs PST on January 23. This has been extended due to technical difficulties that some of the cadets experienced.
In case you have yet to access the final exam, instructions are contained at the end of the last module as well as in the Forum. If you are still having issues accessing it, you must submit a ticket with the contractor directly. Unfortunately we do not have access to the course, or the exam to help you with accessing it.
A new timeline is below:
| Due | Task | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| 31 Jan | CO receives your exam scores. | RCSU |
| 1 Feb | Inform the CO if you wish to proceed, and if so, submit your School Report Card/Homeschool package to 87air@cadets.gc.ca | YOU |
| 14 Feb | CO submits your application. | CO |
| 28 Feb | Complete merit interview board planning and publish details. | RCSU |
| 14-25 Mar | Conduct virtual merit interviews. | RCSU |
| 18 Apr | Announce PPTC and GPTC selections. | RCSU |

Best of luck to all our cadets on your final exams!
