Can someone please explain the difference between Weekend Leave and Academic Leave? Also, can a cadet take both Weekend leave AND Parent's Leave in October? Thanks!

When can we visit our son, do we need appointment or we can do walk-in visit?

Because the cadets' daily

Because the cadets' daily schedule is pretty structured and full, it is best to coordinate any visits with their periods of free time. You should contact Robbin Dodson in the Commandant's Office (she is the secretary there) at 434-842-4231 to learn about good times to visit.

Weekend Leave is a "regular" leave given to the entire corps of cadets - usually one per month. Academic Leave is a special earned leave and is in addition to regular leave. Yes, a cadet can take a regular leave and any other special or earned leaves available in the same month.
