Personal Appearance
Each student must strive to acquire and maintain the high personal and professional standards that are indicative of all Noncommissioned Officers. Hair and uniform standards must be IAW AR 670-1. All items of clothing and equipment must be serviceable and clean.

Student Conduct
The conduct of student personnel and their customs and courtesies must equal the prescribed standards set forth by the Seven Army Values, Warrior Ethos, and appropriate regulations. Students must display courtesy, bearing, and project an appearance, which will bring credit to the service, and a sense of accomplishment and personal pride in themselves. High standards of conduct are basic to a good leader. The student’s off-duty conduct reflects on their training and respect for their chosen profession. Students are representatives of the NCO Academy and are expected to conduct themselves accordingly.

POV
Vehicles registered at other DOD installations are also good here; those that are not should be temporarily registered at Building 1670. Soldiers must provide proof of insurance. Motorcycles are not authorized for use while attending an ALC, unless specific permission is granted by the Commandant. If you ride a motorcycle on Fort Sill, you must wear a helmet with face shield or goggles, reflective vest, gloves, long sleeve outer garment, long pants, and leather footwear at all times. Motorcycle operators must also have proof of attendance at the Department of Transportation’s Motorcycle Defensive Driving Course (DDC).

Honor Graduates

Achieve 92% or greater on each exam.
Receive 1st time "Go’s" on all events.
Have no adverse counseling; this includes never being late to formations.

Students previously released from courses for disciplinary, motivational, or academic reasons are not eligible. Exceptions may be granted, by the Commandant, to students who have been dropped from the course for administrative reasons, (i.e. medical, emergency leave, etc.), if that drop occurred PRIOR to their first exam.

Distinguished Honor Graduate
(Limited to one per class). The Distinguished Honor Graduate is the student who through performance and evaluation is rated as the best in the class. The distinguished honor graduate must meet all the criteria for Honor Graduate and have the highest academic average in the class, 95% or higher.

Commandant's List
Must meet all the criteria for Honor Graduate, however score 90% or higher on each exam.

Commandant's Leadership Award Winner
(Limited to one per School). The Commandant's Leadership Award Winner is the ONE student chosen by his peers, and approved by a board of Cadre, as the one who possessed and demonstrated those attributes most expected of a leader. Individual must achieve all 1st time "Go’s" in all areas throughout the course, have no adverse counseling, earn and receive a "Superior" rating in Leadership, Block 14 of the DA Form 1059, and be selected by peers. Nominations will come from the student chain of command to the Small Group Leader. While academics are critically important, the ultimate mission of the Noncommissioned Officer Academy is to produce technically and tactically proficient "LEADERS". Leadership is the most powerful and important combat multiplier, and its effect will be felt from the first battle to the last. The following procedure will be used to determine the Commandant's Leadership Award Winner:

1. Student chain of command will solicit nominations from students.
2. Each SGL will submit to the School 1SG, the name of one individual who the student chain of command nominated.
3. The School 1SG will conduct a board using leadership as the major focus. The School 1SG will then combine the board results (board evaluation and student input) to determine the Leadership Award Winner.
