Selection Process
The AECP application process consists of two parts...the AFIT evaluation and the AECP Selection Board.
The Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT) evaluates the applicant's academic credentials to ensure they meet the minimum academic eligibility criteria for their desired major.
The AECP Selection board meets in April each year. The board utilizes the "whole person" concept to evaluate applicants. As part of the board process, applicants will be evaluated on their ability to put their package together in the proper format in accordance with the ECP Package Checklist and directions on this site. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure that the package is complete. While the board considers all documents in an application package, they typically focus on the commander's recommendation, the airman's duty performance history, and the applicant's academic performance to determine the applicant's eligibility. Airmen selected the board will begin classes the following fall term. In rare cases, and airman may apply for a waiver to begin classes during the following spring term.
