Course duration referenced below is the effective time taken to complete a course when studied full time (full time equivalent duration). At Charles Sturt the standard calendar refers to 32 points a session over a 2 session calendar year. The Actual Duration is the time taken to complete the course following the prescribed enrolment pattern. A course's actual duration can be affected by the session calendar (number of sessions undertaken per year) and/or mode (full time, part time or mixed) and credit packages which may have been granted upon admission. Therefore, depending on the prescribed enrolment pattern, mode, calendar utilised and credit awarded a course may take less time or more time to complete than the duration noted as full time equivalent years. Students are advised to consult the Enrolment Pattern to determine the actual duration of study.
Full-time: 2.0 years (or part-time equivalent)
CSU uses Academic Selection Criteria to assess applicants for entry into the Associate Degree in Policing Practice (ADPP) which applies to both applicants wishing to study full-time on campus and those choosing to study by distance education.
The minimum academic entry standard for all applicants is successful completion of the University Certificate in Workforce Essentials (UCWE).
The total maximum academic score an applicant can achieve is 40 points which is a combination of the UCWE grade with other academic qualifications.
Academic eligibility is only one component contributing to an applicants progression into the eligibility pool, other components are assessed through the NSW Police Force recruitment process. The results in all components may determine how quickly an applicant gains admission to the course, as offers into the Associate Degree in Policing Practice will be made to the most competitive applicants.
