If an agency wants to hire a graduating career experience student who worked, while on the student appointment, with another agency, does the gaining agency have to clear the Reemployment Priorities List (RPL)?
Yes, if the student is from a different agency. However, if the student is going from one location/activity/component to another location/activity/component in the same agency, the agency has discretion on whether to give RPL registrants priority over students. For purposes of the RPL, all DOD agencies are considered the same agency. DOD agencies (e.g., Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Investigative Service) and the Departments of Army, Navy, and Air Force are all considered DOD. See 5 CFR § 330.201(a).
