I graduate from college in one year. Do I wait to apply or can I apply now?

		*Recruiting* *Frequently Asked Questions* Q. I graduate from college in one year. Do I wait to apply or can I apply now? A. You can apply now if you have at least 60 semester hours from an accredited college or university. If you get accepted into the next academy class and are still enrolled in school, you will have to resign from school for that semester. After you graduate from the academy and become a permanent employee with at least two years of service, you can take advantage of the Educational Leave Policy.
