Conditions of Registration 2026/27 Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) and Police Constable Entry Programme (PCEP)

In March 2026, The Open University published the Conditions of Registration (Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) and Police Constable Entry Programme (PCEP)) 2026/27.

There are some changes from the previous version of this policy (Conditions of Registration (Degree Holder Entry Programme (DHEP) and Police Constable Entry Programme (PCEP)) 2025/26). These are:

  • Clause C1.2a amended to remove duplicated content around bullying, harassment and sexual misconduct.  
  • Clause C4.1 updated with a link to the new Student Reasonable Adjustments Policy. 
  • Section C2: Students living in Wales and G1: Students living in Wales have been removed as there are no Welsh Policing Programmes. 
  • Clause G1.1 (previously Clause G2.1) updated to confirm you must provide us with an email address that is unique to you and not shared with anyone else. 
  • General, minor updates to wording and clause numbering to improve clarity and readability.
