Welcome to the United States Coast Guard Academy Introduction Mission (AIM) Program
Application!
USCGA applications are not part of the ApplyYourself (AY) network and therefore require
you to create a unique username and password. Even if you already have an AY account
that you've used to apply to another institution, you'll need to create a new one using the
"create account" button (on the right) before you can access our applications. This new AY
account allows you to save your progress on our applications, so that you can return to
work on your applications over several sessions and transmit your information to us
through a secure server. If you previously created an AY account to apply to our AIM
Program, you can and should use that account to apply to the Class of 2018.
Please carefully read all instructions that appear throughout our applications. You can only
submit an application once, so updates will need to be provided to the Admissions Office
via e-mail for inclusion in your record. By accessing our applications, you are confirming
that you have read and understand our Privacy Act Statement. All information submitted to
USCGA, including your personal statements, is protected under the Privacy Act.
