The official release is 19 Dec 15 through 5 Jan 16 for Cadets. The cadets/cadet candidates will normally be able to leave anytime on 19 Dec 15. That being said, you need to check with your cadet. If they take their last final on say Wednesday, then they can leave after their final with Commander's permission (standard release is given). Your cadet can go into their computer system (CAMIS) and look up each of his or her classes and see when their finals are. Cadets will not be allowed to move up finals for airline tickets. Also the return date is 5 Jan 16 by 7pm. Cadets should land in Denver not later than 3 hours prior to Academy check-in time at 7 pm. No set time for Colorado Springs, but at least an hour is suggested.
