To register an applicant for this Academy, the following attachments must be included:

- CJ-1253 Student Liability Release
All forms are available for download below.
Effective May 1st, 2021:
Submitting an incomplete registration request through the Acadis Portal is allowed. However, the request will not be processed until it is completed- it will remain in the queue (Application List) until all prerequisites are attached. Doing this only guarantees a spot in the queue, incomplete requests will not secure a spot in any specific class. Complete registrations are processed into open seats daily on a first-come/first-served basis. Therefore, it is best to submit only complete registration requests, confirming all aspects of the prerequisites are completed, to secure a seat in a class.
DOCUMENTS
Course information will be emailed to training officers on selection day for each academy. Training officers are responsible for ensuring their applicants receive the information.
