School of Policing Studies – Review & Release Schedule

The School of Policing Studies (SOPS) has a custom set of sessions that are reviewed each cycle. However, a custom release schedule is required due to frequent micro sessions used by the School’s Associate Diploma of Policing Practice (ADPP) and University Certificate of Workforce Essentials (UCWE).

Release occurs 10 weeks prior to the start of ADPP sessions. Since UCWE sessions run 7 or 8 days later than ADPP, this equates to 78 days prior to session for UCWE.
