GENERAL INFORMATION
- As a Distance Education student, you study the first two sessions of
the course from home.
- Instead of attending on-campus lectures and tutorials, you will receive
a mail package, which may include printed materials, audio and
videotapes, computer disks and CD-ROMs as well as a host of online
support functions to enable you to study at home. All DE subjects are
supported online to enable you to check your grades, order a library
book, email your lecturer, chat online with other students or submit
assignments.
- Tutors and lecturers can be contacted by phone or email to help with
any enquiries or problems you may encounter. Online facilities are
provided for your convenience.
- A compulsory orientation weekend will be held when the course begins
where you will receive information to help you manage and cope with
the study. Subject information will be provided at the orientation
weekend.
- Compulsory weekend residential schools for each subject are held to
help you with problems, to simulate practical aspects of the policing
profession, to provide feedback on your fitness levels, for
assessment, and to network with students and teachers.
- You join the other students at the NSW Police College in Goulburn
for Session 2, with limited on-campus accommodation provided at a cost
of $100 a week. If, after successfully completing Session 2, you are
employed as a Probationary Constable, you will continue to study
Sessions 3, 4 and 5 by Distance Education.
- Distance Education students may apply for a scholarship for Session
2.
- Students must have achieved a fitness level that is approximately
80% of that required for the final fitness assessment by the
commencement of Session 2. Applicants not meeting the specified
fitness level will not be permitted to start Session 2.
HIGHER EDUCATION CONTRIBUTION
SCHEME (HECS): AMOUNT PAYABLE
All students enrolled in the Diploma of Policing Practice
must pay Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) fees: you pay part of
the cost of your higher education and the Government pays the rest.
HECS is calculated on the number of subjects enrolled in
per session: the upfront rate of HECS is $337.60 per subject; the deferred
rate of HECS is $449.76 per subject.
HECS instalments to the Tax Office commence immediately
your current taxable income reaches $23,242 or higher (even if you are
still studying). Repayments are based on the level of income and are
currently applied at the rate of 3 - 6%, depending on your taxable income.
The amount of HECS Graduate students will pay each session
(2002 rates):
