That depends on where you are. Over here, it's 3 SLs + 2 PRCPs, minimum, so 5.

And over here it's 2 S/Ls and 3 PRCPs minimum, so still 5

I have seen students graduate with as few as three static-line jumps.
The first jump only required a stable exit. They did graceful practice ripcord pulls on their second and third jumps and did short freefalls on their fourth jumps.

HOWEVER, avoid getting hung-up on numbers - this early in your learning curve.
Mastering basic skills - early - is very important, because you will have to deploy your own main parachute on ALL subsequent skydives.

Only the ones you plan on surviving.
