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.

Students must also meet the inherent requirements of the course as outlined in the Charles Sturt University Inherent Requirements for Nursing. Full details are available at: https://study.csu.edu.au/courses/nursing-midwifery-indigenous/bachelor-nursing/inherent-requirements.
Inherent requirements are the fundamental components of a Course or Subject, that are necessary to demonstrate the capabilities, knowledge and skills essential to achieve the core learning outcomes of the Course or Subject, while preserving the academic integrity of the universitys learning assessment and accreditation processes. The Disability Education Standard, Section 3.4 (3) states: In assessing whether an adjustment to the Course, Subject of the Course or program in which the student is enrolled, or proposes to be enrolled, is reasonable, the provider is entitled to maintain the academic requirements of the Course or program, and other requirements or components that are inherent in or essential to its nature. Note: In providing for students with disabilities, a provider may continue to ensure the integrity of its Courses or programs and assessment requirements and processes, so that those on whom it confers an award can present themselves as having the appropriate knowledge, experience and expertise implicit in the holding of that particular award.
Standard Charles Sturt University Credit Policy applies: https://policy.csu.edu.au/document/view-current.php?id=120
