All Capstone participants require a TS/SCI with SI, TK, G and HCS accesses.

Clearances have to be fully adjudicated, not interim.

**NDU Security does not have access to Scattered Castles for clearance / SCI verification **  

If you are PCSing before your Capstone course starts, your departing command or on boarding command must send your VAR and maintain your TS/SCI accesses for the duration of your course dates.

HOW TO PASS YOUR CLEARANCE:

Home Station:  Send Visitor Access Request (VAR) to NDU SMO Code:  D J J N D U 2  (NDU/Capstone will forward the groups clearances to all required locations.)

Dates:  inclusive/complete dates of your Capstone course 

DISS POC:  Bonnie Swanson/Capstone, 260 5th Ave, Fort McNair, DC 20319.  Phone:  202-685-2330

All Capstone participants require a TS/SCI with SI, TK, G and H/HCS accesses.  

**SCI - OWNING SCI SMO MUST SEND SCI VISIT, NOT SECURITY MANAGERS**

EUROPE ONLY TRIP FELLOWS:  NATO SECRET is also required.

Have a CE Letter?  Please ensure your SSO initiates the eAPP which will in turn populate any updated CE dates.  

Is your clearance out of scope (your CV/CE/investigation date is older than 5 years)?  Capstone requires you to initiate a SF86 in the National Background Investigation Services (NBIS), which must be completed and submitted for Continuous Vetting routing.  This process will generate a new date that all our visit locations will accept.

If your clearance is not maintained in Defense Information System for Security (DISS) (typically USCG only):  your agency Security Officer and/or Agency Special Security Officer (SSO) will need to pass clearances separately. The preferred method is submission of a visit request by fax on agency letterhead to 202-685-3765.  The fax must include:  Full name, date of birth, place of birth, SSN, clearance level, agency that adjudicated the clearance, and agency that investigated the clearance.
