 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Ian Cotter. Completing a college degree while at sea or deployed can be difficult, but the Navy College Program for a Float College Education, or NCPACE, can help. NCPACE is part of the Navy Voluntary Education Program and is 100% funded by the Navy. Sailors are only responsible for the cost of textbooks and class materials. NCPACE has flexible term dates that can be tailored to a unit's deployment cycle. The low cost to Sailors makes NCPACE one of the best educational deals the Navy offers. NCPACE schools are regionally accredited, giving Sailors maximum flexibility in transferring credits to another college. To sign up for NCPACE, contact your Unit Educational Services Officer or local Navy College office. For more information, visit the Navy College website.
