Have any changes been made to the requirements to join CID?

Recently spoke with a few agents here who say they’re always hurting for people and was curious if any of the requirements to Join CID have been changed or if they allow certain waivers? I’m two credits shy of 60 hours and two points shy of a 110.

Have you taken the free tests for credity at the Education Center. Perhaps you can test out on some of those and get the small amount of credits for your particular situation. I was an applicant for CID as a military policeman in Italy. Unfortunately I got selected for Army Recruiting duty which circumvented my CID process. The tests though at the Ed Center may afford you a quick pathway for those credits. They have CLEP tests and subject tests. Check them out for yourself.

No changes have been made as far as I am tracking. Whatever is on their CID webpage is it; they're usually pretty good at updating it as it things change. I would do what SFC Dean said; CLEP out of some courses. But with just two credits shy, I see no reason why they wouldn't take you and TA just renewed yesterday so no reason not to take any classes either to make those credits.

You can retake the GT test and put in a waiver for the 2 hours short on the schooling. Be enrolled in school, completing the missing 2 hours and put that in your waiver request.
