During fall semester 2020, MMA will not offer open weekends to support a contained environment (with some exceptions) for the health and safety of our cadets, faculty and staff.

If COVID pandemic conditions permit in spring 2021, open weekends (when your cadet may travel home) will include Easter weekend and Mother's Day weekend. Normally, cadets in good standing may take two additional open weekends per year. 

In order to promote our team mentality and a sense of responsibility, cadets are not permitted (with few exceptions) to take open weekends during Homecoming, Fall Family Weekend, Commencement Weekend, Valentine Weekend and Spring Family Weekend.
