You do know there is no such thing as Starfleet Academy, right?

It appears that there is no official age for joining the Starfleet Academy, for most characters it has been assumed at age 18. A few were admitted earlier, Riker is the youngest being only 15. The main requirement is the entrance test. The academy is a four institution in the next generation saga though it was stated in passing that it was a five year institution in Tos.
Go here for any other info that you might need

Details of Starfleet Academy tend to be pretty sparse.

The best links I could find for you are

http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Starfleet_Academy
http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Starfleet_Academy

That second link might actually be more helpful to you, since the
licensed books had more room to fill in the details.

haven't clicked on the links however i'd wager that there is an enterance exam similar as the US Military's ASVAB. with possible leanency depending on how much PR the federation/starfleet can get from having someone of your race signed up. i think there was a TNG episode where someone was saying something to this effect. wanna say it was a bajoran but i could be mistaken on that.

Supposedly it's like a 4 year special space/military college. Go to Lotus Fleet and they have a MASSIVE Academy there, non-RP. I'm going through it now. OMG, it is so difficult. D;
