You're missing the entire point: To become an official (profesional) Hunter, like Qrow, one would need to graduate. But you can have Hunter levels of power, along with an unlocked Aura and Semblance, without going to an academy, like Blake before the show began. In which case, you would be an unofficial Hunter, a Hunter in all but name.

That's what I meant.
