Update on Border Patrol Academy Schedules
At HonorFirst.com, we aim to provide clear, reliable reference information for individuals interested in the U.S. Border Patrol Academy and the hiring process.
This page provides available U.S. Border Patrol Agent Academy class schedule information, including class numbers, training locations, Academy start dates, and scheduled graduation dates. The information is intended to help applicants, current and former Border Patrol personnel, researchers, and others better understand Academy scheduling and general training patterns.
All Academy class information published on this page is based on Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) responses and other publicly releasable government records. We intentionally limit our content to information approved for public release and do not publish sensitive, operational, or law-enforcement-sensitive information.
On September 23, 2026, HonorFirst.com submitted a new FOIA request to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for the Fiscal Year 2027 Border Patrol Agent Academy class schedule. The request seeks class numbers, training locations, Academy start dates, and scheduled graduation dates for FY 2027. We have also indicated that we are willing to accept the most current draft or tentative schedule if the final schedule is not yet available.
Because this information is obtained through FOIA requests, updates may not always be immediate and schedules may change after they are released. We will update this page when additional or revised information becomes available through official channels.
This page is intended as an informational reference and should not be considered official scheduling guidance. Applicants should rely on communications from U.S. Customs and Border Protection for information concerning their individual hiring process, reporting dates, and Academy assignments. For current official information, visit CBP.gov. Applicants may also find peer discussions within the USBP Applicants’ Reddit community, an unofficial forum where applicants share personal experiences and timelines.
