Security Clearance Requirements

In order to attend the National Defense Intelligence College, students must have a final Top Secret Clearance and be SCI-indoctrinated. Civilians attending the College full-time should have their SSO certify their clearance and SCI access for the entire school year. Individuals enrolled in part-time programs must meet the same clearance and access requirements as the full-time students. All part-time students must ensure that their clearance and SCI access are certified by their SSO to DIA prior to attending class.

Send clearances via SSO channels as follows:

SSO DIA//DAC-3C/MCA-1A// Within the message body, insert the following statement:

“Pass to National Defense Intelligence College,
ATTN: Security Officer.”

Students whose clearances are not received on time risk losing their Admissions to the program or having their orders cancelled even if they have already carried out a permanent change of station. Students with specific questions concerning the security requirements should call the College Security Officer at (202) 231-2768 or DSN 428-2768.
