Admission to the Academy was intensely competitive.

RequirementsEdit

Traditionally, when a person who wished to join Starfleet reaches the adulthood, they submitted an application and underwent a series of tests. If accepted, they trained at an academy facility, such as the primary one at the San Francisco Presidio on Earth. A usual course of study for officers is a four-year education, although accelerated programs and graduate training are available. Enlisted service requires a much shorter training course, sometimes at a satellite facility of the Academy or at another Starfleet installation. (ST reference: Star Trek Encyclopedia, ^{[citation needed]})

The Academy's motto is "Ex Astris, Scientia", or "From the Stars, Knowledge." (TNG novel: The First Duty)

The facilities include holodecks, located on Archer Hall. (ST - SNW short story: "Best Tools Available")

In 2271, the entrance exam's final question was worth fifty points. (DS9 novel: The Long Night)

In the mid-22nd century, all cadets were required to study the worlds that had been destroyed by their dominant species through wars and environmental mismanagement. (TOS novel: Prime Directive)
