Origins

Expansion
During Romana II's presidency, she changed the laws to allow human, Monan, Nekkistani, Yevnon and Sunari students study at the Academy. (AUDIO: Insurgency) It was during this time that the Academy was damaged by a terrorist attack, (AUDIO: Imperiatrix) and then the Gallifreyan Civil War. (AUDIO: Fractures,Warfare)

Admission
According to the Tenth Doctor, children "were taken from their families at the age of eight" to begin their instruction. Part of the initiation into the academy involved looking into the Untempered Schism. (TV: The Sound of Drums) A selection of the applicants was provided. (TV: Listen)

At the induction ceremony for the Academy all Time Lords said:
 * "I swear to protect the ancient Law of Gallifrey with all my might and brain. I will to the end of my days, with justice and with honour temper my actions and my thoughts." (HOMEVID: Shada)

Studies
Time Lords spent "centuries" at the Academy. (COMIC: Mortal Beloved)

Subjects
Branches of knowledge taught in the Time Lord education system included botany, (PROSE: Wooden Heart) thermodynamics, (TV: Time and the Rani) cybernetics, (TV: Destiny of the Daleks, The Armageddon Factor) cosmic science, (TV: Terror of the Autons) Veteran and Vintage Vehicles (TV: The Pirate Planet) and Gallifreyan flutterwings. (TV: The Pirate Planet)

Sports
The Eleventh Doctor told John Jones that he tragically came in fourth place 900 years earlier in the Time Lord Academy Sprint Championship. (COMIC: Space in Dimension Relative and Time)

Time Lords—or at least the First Doctor—rode Vortisaurs bareback at the Academy. As a result, the Doctor gained a lot of knowledge about Vortisaurs by his eighth incarnation. (AUDIO: Storm Warning)

Graduation
When a Gallifreyan had been granted the rank of Junior Time Lord in the Time Lord Academy, they received their symbiotic nuclei. (PROSE: Interference - Book One) To graduate they were tested, with a pass rate of 51% (such as that achieved by the Doctor), up to a "Triple First" grade (like Romana I), and could take the test more than once if necessary, with the result being confidential. (TV: The Ribos Operation)

There was a TARDIS cradle in the Time Lord Academy for students who had formed a symbiotic bond, but hadn't left the Academy yet. (AUDIO: The Apocalypse Element)

Chapters and classes
There were six Chapterhouses within the Time Lord Academy, (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell) the Arcalian Chapter, Patrex Chapter, Prydonian Chapter, (TV: The Deadly Assassin) Cerulean Chapter, Dromeian Chapter (PROSE: Lungbarrow) and Scendeles Chapter. (PROSE: The Ancestor Cell)

The Doctor's class
The Doctor belonged to the Prydonian Chapter. (TV: The Deadly Assassin et al.) His class at the Academy had 26 members. Three of them prematurely retired injured and two were dead by the Doctor's seventh incarnation. (PROSE: Lungbarrow) At the Academy, a group of students, called the Deca, named themselves Theta Sigma (the Doctor), Koschei (the Master), Mortimus (the Monk), Ushas (the Rani) and Magnus (the War Chief). (PROSE: Divided Loyalties) Tebediatroculozan attended the Academy at the same time as the Doctor. (PROSE: Seven Deadly Sins)
