Payment of Fees

Once we have received and accepted your completed Enrolment Form, we will give you an invoice. You will be formally enrolled once the invoice is paid in full. It must be paid in full within eight (8) working days of being received and prior to the start of your course.

If the invoice is not paid in full within the eight day period, the College may consider that you have withdrawn from enrolment and your application for enrolment may be cancelled if there is a waiting list.

Loans and Allowances

If you are a domestic student, you may qualify for a government tuition subsidy. Studylink handles all matters to do with loans and allowances for students.

It is essential that you contact them directly at your time of enrolment. All application forms are available from the Studylink website www.studylink.govt.nz. or phone 0800 88 99 00.

If you are a full-time student (0.8 EFTS or more), you are able to apply for both a student loan and student allowance. If you are studying part-time (at least 0.25 EFTS), you may be eligible for a student loan but not for an allowance.

Once you have sent your application to Studylink, you will get a receipt showing it has been received. You should keep this.
