If your strengths are in the sciences, social sciences and/or commerce, it makes complete sense to be studying at a university that specialises in the areas you’re passionate about.

Studying at Lincoln What do I need to know?
10
ln Qualifying for Linco
There are two kinds of credit:
Admission
• Specified credit – When a course closely corresponds with a course offered at Lincoln.
Students must apply for admission to study at Lincoln University. For each programme there are approved entry criteria and applicants will be expected to provide suitable evidence to show that they have achieved the standard required.
• Unspecified credit – When a course does not correspond to a course offered at Lincoln. Unspecified credits can help make up the number of courses needed for your degree but cannot be used for prerequisites.
If supplying copies of original documents to support your application for admission these must be verified, otherwise known as certified true copies. These will be signed by someone in authority who has checked that the photocopy is a genuine unaltered copy of that original. The verifier must be an authorised person such as a Justice of the Peace, Solicitor, Registrar or Deputy Registrar of the Court. Lincoln University Registry staff may also verify documents for admission purposes.
You should lodge your application for credits as soon as you can so that your credits can be confirmed before you register. This will ensure you have a firm course of study from the beginning of the academic year. Call 0800 10 60 10 for the application for credit form, or download from our website. Please note there is a $75 fee for each credit application.
All students for whom English is a second language are required to show that they have a suitable standard of English to support their admission. The approved academic and English standards are published in Lincoln’s Prospectus and also on our website. The English standards can also be found on page 17. On application, admission staff will formally advise students of their eligibility for the course of study they chose. There is no application fee. Check your eligibility by submitting an application. On-line: https://apply.lincoln.ac.nz Post: application form (downloadable from our website) Once you have applied to study at Lincoln we email you a username and password that is used to login to our student administration system, known as LUCAS. Read more about LUCAS and how you can use it to monitor your application, manage your enrolment and register for study, on page 12.
Credits and exemptions If you’re transferring from another tertiary institution you may be able to gain credits for your previous study. You need to formally apply for these, and to do that you’ll need to submit a certified copy of your academic transcript.
Exemption occurs when you do not have to enrol in a course even if it is a core course for your degree. It can be used as a prerequisite course but does not count as a credit towards your degree.
Postgraduate transfer If you’re applying for a transfer of credit of surplus courses from another tertiary institution you’ll need to submit a certified copy of your academic record. You must also provide a letter from the tertiary institution confirming that the course applied for has not been credited towards another degree or qualification. Apply using the application for credit. Please note there is a $75 fee for each credit application.
To Do:
Check I meet the entrance requirements. Have I supplied correctly certified copies of academic documents relevant to my application for admission? Have I transferred my credits from another university?

Student workload
Summer school
Generally you can expect to spend 40-50 hours per week studying. This is made up of:
A limited number of courses are offered during Summer School. January Summer School and November Summer School allow students to compress their academic programme, retake a failed course or access a course which would not fit their schedule otherwise. Find out more about the courses available by contacting Student Services on (03) 325 2811, visit www.lincoln.ac.nz/ summerschool or email info@lincoln.ac.nz
• Contact time – lectures, laboratories, tutorials, field trips, tests and examinations • Non-contact time – reading, on-line study, revision, assignments and projects
Timetable You can find the full timetable for each semester at http://learn.lincoln.ac.nz shortly before the start of the semester. Each undergraduate course is assigned to a timetable block, with each block allocated certain hours of the week. To work out your study timetable: 1. Find the courses you are going to study on the schedule for your chosen degree. 2. Look to see what blocks they are assigned to. 3. Find the hours allocated to that block on the following page.
Exam timetable 2010 The date and time of the final examination for each course will be published in the examination timetable which will be available on learn@lincoln at the end of week five in each semester.
Lincoln University Student Charter This reciprocal agreement ensures quality for both staff and students. It’s a key part of our commitment to educate you so that you can achieve to your fullest potential in an environment that is enabling, innovative and focused on providing value to you. You can find a full copy of the Charter at www.lincoln.ac.nz/charter
You cannot choose two courses in the same block in the same semester because lectures and exam times will clash. For postgraduate studies and courses without a block, lecture times will be arranged by the examiner in consultation with students at the beginning of the semester. Most blocks are assigned five hours in the week. This could be made up of two hours of lectures, an hour of tutorials and two hours in the lab. Or there may be other combinations such as two hours of lectures and three hours of tutorials or laboratory classes. Some courses, especially those at 300 level may not use all five hours assigned to the timetable block. In courses with tutorials or laboratory sessions, classes may be split into different groups and there may be a range of optional times offered for tutorial or laboratory sessions. Some of these times may be outside the five allocated hours for the block set out in the following pages. The examiner will arrange the tutorial and/or laboratory groups during the first week of lectures.

w o n k o t s g in n h t t n a t Impor about studying in New Zealand
International Student Refund Policy It’s important that you read and understand our refund policy for international students before you change or withdraw from courses. You can find this at http://www.lincoln.ac.nz/fees
Medical and travel insurance Immigration It’s very important you understand New Zealand’s immigration laws. Full details about visa requirements, advice on your rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and your reporting requirements are available through the New Zealand Immigration Service. You can also find these online at http://www.immigration.govt.nz/
New Zealand law requires international students to have “appropriate and current medical and travel insurance for the duration of their planned period of study.” The regulations are very specific about what this means. All New Zealand Universities, including Lincoln, endorse the insurance plan known as Studentsafe-University. You can read more about the policy and contact details for claims at: www.lincoln.ac.nz/insurance The key benefits of Studentsafe-University are:
Health services Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. You can find out more about the publicly-funded health services you are entitled to through the Ministry of Health, or at: http://www.moh.govt.nz
Accident insurance The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand. However, you may still have to pay other medical and related costs. There’s more information about what ACC covers and what it doesn’t at http://www.acc.co.nz

• Free healthcare from the doctor, the nurses, or the counselling staff at Student Health and Support on campus for issues covered under the insurance. • No application forms - the premium will simply be added to your tuition fees when you register. You’re then automatically insured for up to 31 days before your course start date (this includes insurance for travel from your home country). • Management by an insurance broker - MARSH Ltd manages the plan on behalf of all New Zealand Universities. • The 2010 premiums have not been confirmed. Please refer to www.lincoln.ac.nz for updated premium details.
Other insurance policies
Visa/permit renewal
MARSH Ltd provides an assessment service advising us of policies that meet the required standards. We strongly advise that you do not take out insurance from your home country as these generally do not meet the specific requirements for New Zealand, and you cannot register if your insurance does not comply.
If you have a current New Zealand visa/permit (whether it’s a student, work or visitor permit) you may be eligible to apply for a new student visa/permit on the Lincoln University campus at Student Services between 9.30am - 12.30pm on Mondays and Tuesdays during term time. Passport Collection is also available on Thursdays and Fridays. To apply for a new student visa/permit, you’ll need to bring:
The following policies have been assessed and approved by MARSH:* NZI (Studentsafe-University); AIG Uni-care (NZ Student Plan); Lumley NZ Willis (Orbit Protect Prime Plan); Southern Cross Travel Insurance (International Student Max); Inter Global (NZ) (Studentcare Plan). * Lincoln University reserves the right to amend this list at any time. Please check www.lincoln.ac.nz for updated information.
Student visa In order to enrol at Lincoln University you must hold a current and valid Student Visa/Permit. The visa/permit must state the programme you are enrolling in and that you are studying at Lincoln University. When you are planning your enrolment, make sure you factor in the length of time it may take to apply for and receive your visa/permit. Also, ensure that the expiry date of your passport will be valid beyond the expiry date of your visa/permit.
• A New Zealand bank statement in your name showing you have NZ$5,000 (half year) or NZ$10,000 (one year) funds available, OR the completed Financial Undertaking for a Student form; • Your receipt for the payment of your tuition fees; • PLUS you need to show that you have sufficient funds held in New Zealand to cover the cost of outward travel to a country which you have a right of entry (approximately $1,000 - $2,000), OR a fully paid travel ticket to any such country; • Your passport; • A completed NZIS (1012) Application to Study in New Zealand form. This is available from Student Services or: http://www.immigration.govt.nz; • A completed and signed Student Permit Renewal Checklist form - available from Student Services; • NZ$120 application fee. There’s more information about student visas/permits at http://www.immigration.govt.nz/migrant/stream/study
You’ll be sent details of how to apply for a visa/permit in your letter of admission.

Global Mobility courses Study Abroad and Global Mobility students can choose from any of the courses listed in the schedule of course prescriptions, as long as they have the appropriate academic background for the course they wish to study.
Course advice and prerequisites It is compulsory for Study Abroad and Global Mobility students to obtain course advice when registering at Lincoln University. Academic staff can advise students if they are sufficiently well prepared and have the appropriate background to take a course. During the first two weeks of each semester students can make changes to courses, and course advisors are also available to assist with this process.
Credits and course codes Study Abroad and Global Mobility students are required to study full-time to satisfy Immigration New Zealand requirements. This means that students will need to study 60 credits at Lincoln per semester.

Postgraduate students choose three courses at 600 level, each worth 20 credits, per semester. Generally, 60 credits at Lincoln University is equivalent to 30 ECTS or 16 US Credits.

Fees at Lincoln What’s it going to cost?
28
When, what, how ... Timing You need to pay all your tuition, field trip, practical work and student services fees for your approved course of study when you register. If you’re planning on living in the Halls or in a campus house or flat, your residential fees must be paid in full at the beginning of the year. You can pay these a semester in advance. All other fees are payable when you apply. If you have unpaid fees after the due date, or if you have outstanding fines or owe debts of any sort to the University, you may be excluded from classes and/or from obtaining other services provided by the University. This also means that if you have fees that are still owed from previous years, you may not be able to register or graduate until the balance has been settled. If a prior arrangement has been made with the Finance Manager to pay fees then all conditions must have been adhered to. Please refer to the Lincoln University Calendar for official information on our regulations.
How your fees are made up The fees you pay to attend Lincoln are made up of several parts: • Tuition fees - these will vary depending on whether you are a domestic or an international student, what you are studying and at what level • Student services levy - charged to all students • Practical work fees - applies to some programmes • Field trip and tour fees - applies to some courses It’s important you understand each part and whether or not it applies to you. If you have any concerns or want to find out more about fees and your account check our website www.lincoln. ac.nz or contact us at studentfinance@lincoln.ac.nz.
Paying your tuition fees You can pay your fees by cheque, EFTPOS, MasterCard, Visa, direct credit or cash, at or before registration. Domestic students may choose to pay by Student Loan. If you want to pay your tuition related charges by direct credit, you can do this to: Account Number: 12-3147-0016000-00 ASB Bank Lincoln University Branch PO Box 204 Lincoln University Lincoln 7647 New Zealand Swiftcode: ASBBNZ2A Quote your name and ID as reference. You can make credit electronic card payments via the “Make a payment” option in the finance section of LUCAS.
Student loans (domestic) If you’re enrolled in a course with .8000 EFTS or greater, you’ll be considered a full-time student. If your course is for a year, this is the minimum requirement you’ll need to qualify for student allowances and the living cost component of student loans. If your course is for one semester, then you will need to be enrolled in a course of study with .4000 EFTS or greater to be considered fulltime and therefore qualify. If you are eligible for a loan, you may use it to pay all or part of your fees. Important points to note are: 1. Indicate on the application form that the loan is to pay course fees. 2. Provide all the necessary supporting documentation to StudyLink for the loan to be approved. Lincoln University recommends that if you are going to change your programme you, do so at the beginning of the academic year. Please be aware though that any changes you make to your chosen subjects or programme may impact on your Loan and Allowance eligibility. Contact StudyLink for full information. If you’re a postgraduate student enrolled in a dissertation (at either Honours or Masters level) we recommend you check your eligibility for loans and

allowances with both Lincoln University AND StudyLink, if the submission date (according to House Rules and/ or Lincoln University Calendar) is after the published semester end date. There are also some circumstances when research students may NOT be eligible for Student Allowances or the living component or Student Loans. That’s why, if you are a research student, it’s important to discuss your enrolment with both Lincoln University AND StudyLink before you start your study to ensure you fully understand your eligibility for financial assistance. Examples of students who may not be eligible include: • Students who start their research after May 1 (full or part-time); • Students who suspend their research; and • Students who take an extended break between their taught studies and research within the same academic year (e.g. finish taught courses at the end of Semester 1 but do not start research until August). For more information on Student Loans and Allowances, please contact STUDYLINK on 0800 889900 or visit www.studylink.govt.nz
Student loans (international students) If you’re an international student, contact the Ministry of Education in your home country about student loans that may be available to you for overseas study.

Tuition Fees Fees for undergraduate and postgraduate studies at Lincoln University are course based. In other words, each course has a set fee no matter what programme you are enrolled in. Undergraduate and postgraduate fees for international students are structured the same way as for domestic students: Each course has a set fee, no matter what programme you are enrolled in (except the Study Abroad programme which has a flat fee). If you’re an international student though you must be enrolled in a full time course. Both domestic and international research students pay an annual fee for their studies. This is calculated based on the month the research begins. Study Abroad students pay their tuition fees in full for the semester or year in advance before they register. Fees are updated annually, with the updated amount quoted in each student’s offer letter. Global Mobility students continue to pay their tuition fees at their home institution and are exempt from paying tuition fees at Lincoln University.

However, as Lincoln’s fees are adjusted annually it may only be possible to provide an estimation at the time of assessing an application to study. The estimate will be based on a normal, full-time course of study in the qualification for which the application has been assessed. The tuition fees are calculated on a per course basis and do not include costs of field trips or tours, text books, accommodation or any other incidental fees or course-related costs incurred during the year. Fees are applicable to the year in which the study is undertaken and small adjustments may be expected from year to year. Please refer to www.lincoln.ac.nz/fees for updates.

UNDERGRADUATE FEES AT LINCOLN DEGREES
UNDERGRADUATE QUALIFICATIONS
International Research Tuition Fees Your tuition fees are based on whether you are full or part-time, and the number of months you are registered for. Fees are due when you register. They’ll be adjusted when you hand in your thesis to reflect your submission date. An offer of place for immigration purposes will only be issued for the period of study for which full tuition fees have been paid. Lincoln University advises the New Zealand Immigration Service when the details on the issued Offer of Place change. International students are not eligible for monthly payment plans. International PhD students must be resident in New Zealand (apart from temporary absences for the purposes of approved doctoral research) to be classified as domestic students and pay domestic student tuition fees. The fees quoted right are for a full-time, full year course of study for all Masters thesis students; and for PhD students who are continuing with, or completing their study from 2005 or earlier. International students who began their PhD from January 2006 on will be charged domestic student fees.

Changing programmes/courses Changing your programme as an international student may result in a change in fees, particularly if the subjects have field trips and tours. It may also mean you need to apply for a variation to your student visa. In some cases, you may be able to enrol in more than a standard study load. Late requests for changes to programmes and courses after the published deadlines may be approved if those changes are as a result of an application for a dispensation. Other requests for late changes are normally declined, or, if approved, may incur a late course change fee. Refer to the Important Dates near the beginning of this book.
Refunds and withdrawing from study Our International Student Refund Policy is published in full at www.lincoln.ac.nz. Please read this carefully before deciding to withdraw from study. You’re welcome to talk with staff at International Marketing, Student Services and the International Student Adviser about this policy and what it may mean for you. If you decide to withdraw from a course, you will have to pay a refund fee. If you are thinking of withdrawing, we recommend you first talk to the people at International Marketing, Student Services or the International Student Adviser about your decision

Other Fees Student Services Levy A compulsory Student Services Levy is charged to all students. This covers the provision of the Lincoln University Students Association, an IT levy and the maintenance of the Student Union Building. It also subsidises the health services available on campus as well as the Recreation Centre. At the date of publication, the Student Services levy for 2010 has not been confirmed. It will be confirmed later in the year and you’ll be able to find this information at www.lincoln.ac.nz/fees from late November onwards. As an indication the 2009 fee for a full-time student, over two semesters (two ‘teaching periods’) for a course of study was $312.00 (incl GST) Students who study ‘off-campus’ were charged $35.00 (inc GST) in 2009, irrespective of the number of courses taken. For the purposes of the Student Services Levy, you’ll be defined as studying ‘off-campus’ if you are enrolled in any of the following programmes, and not concurrently enrolled in any on campus courses: • Professional Masters • Regional Education • NMIT based Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology • Masters and Ph.D. students who have been granted permission to register on an external basis by the Academic Administration Committee, in terms of the house rules for external masters and Ph.D. students. Research students pay a Student Services Levy dependent on their enrolment and status (full/part-time), and number of months registered.

Practical work fees Some programmes have practical work fees associated with them. At the date of publication, the Practical Work fee for 2010 have not been confirmed, so we’ve shown you the Practical Work fees payable in 2009 as an indication only. The fees for 2010 will be confirmed later in the year and you’ll be able to find this information at www.lincoln.ac.nz from late November on. The 2009 charge is $45. Please see “Practical Work” in “Courses at Lincoln - Deciding what you’ll study” for information on which programmes include this fee.
Field trip and tour fees Field trip and tours are compulsory parts of many courses at Lincoln University. These may be visits to a business, a farm, a factory or some other place for you to see applications of the work you are studying. Trips may be held during class time or on specified field trip days notified in the semester lecture timetable. Tours are of longer duration. Many are held during holidays. Where a course includes a trip or tour, the University levies a compulsory course fee to offset the costs in running the trip/tour. This fee is not included in the course tuition fee amount. If you’re enrolling in a course or courses that have field trips and tours, you must pay for these when you enrol in the course. The table on page 38 is a schedule of the courses which have these compulsory charges. At the date of publication, the Field Trip and Tour fees for 2010 have not been confirmed, so we’ve shown you the Field Trip and Tour fees payable in 2009 as an indication only. The fees for 2010 will be confirmed later in the year and you’ll be able to find this information at www.lincoln.ac.nz from late November onwards.
Programme-based Field Trips: Students taking the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology and Graduate Diploma in Viticulture and Oenology are required to complete a programme based field tour. For Viticulture and Oenology students this cost is historically between $750 and $800 and the tour is held in August of every year. Students take this trip in their final second semester. Landscape students are required to take one field tour in the course of their degree - the cost of this varies depending on the location but typically has been between $200 and $350.

Courses at Lincoln Deciding what you’ll study
40
Some help onses choosing cour At Lincoln most courses are taught in one semester, although some are taught over a full year. The course prescription section lists each course and includes further information such as which semester it is taught in, and what timetable block it is in. To help with planning your degree there is a course planner at the back of this book.
Understanding course codes At Lincoln, each course has a descriptive title and a prefix. The first number of the course code gives the level at which the course is taught i.e. 0xx = Undergraduate diploma or certificate (e.g. COMP 021) 1xx = Level one (e.g. ECOL 103) 2xx = Level two (e.g. PHSC 204) 3xx = Level three (e.g. RECN 322) 6xx = Postgraduate (e.g. HORT 626) Levels one, two and three equate to years one, two and three of a standard undergraduate course. Honours degrees and postgraduate degrees, certificates and diplomas are coded as 600 level courses.

Course outline
Making a change
A Course Outline is available at the start of the semester. This offers a detailed account for each course including:
You can make changes to your chosen courses during the first two weeks of lectures in Semesters one and two. This gives you time to further consider study options before you must finalise what you’re going to study. If you’re enrolled in Summer School, you’ll have a shorter period in which to finalise your enrolment. Please make sure you check the Important Dates near the front of this book so that you know when the deadlines for making changes are.
• List of topics to be covered; • The names of the lecturers and tutors; • The in-term assessment and exam details, including weighting towards final mark and due dates for assignments; • List of textbooks and readings. Once this has been distributed, the examiner must follow the outline. No further changes can be made to it without the agreement of the students.
Getting course advice prior to making any course changes is not compulsory for many undergraduate students, however it is available and we do strongly recommend it. You can make changes to courses online, as well as making special enrolment requests, e.g. apply for a prerequisite dispensation. To gain access to LUCAS and your Student Centre, use the username and password given to you. If you can’t access on-line enrolment or have any enrolment problems please see the staff at Student Services.
Domestic Students If you do decide to drop a course before the final date to withdraw and you are eligible for a refund, that course is deleted from your academic record. After this date, the course remains on your record and you’re given a grade of WDN (withdrawn). This grade is not a failing grade and does not impact on your grade point average. Approximately half way through the semester, you can no longer withdraw from courses. If you do not sit the final exam, you will receive the failing grade of DNS (Did Not Sit). Check the deadlines in the Important Dates section. If you’re eligible for a student loan and allowance, we encourage you to investigate any possible impact a course change may have before you go ahead and do so. If you require a copy of the course outline in advance in order to get pre-approval of courses from your home institution, please contact the Study Abroad and Global Mobility Coordinator who can provide you with a copy (please note - this may not be the final version).
42
International students If you’re an international student at Lincoln, you must study here full-time and, unless you’re completing a qualification, you cannot withdraw from a course without replacing it with another one. If you are thinking of withdrawing from a course, please discuss your decision and the impact that withdrawal will have on your record and your eligibility for a refund of fees with the Undergraduate or Postgraduate Administrators at Student Services before you withdraw. It’s very important that you understand and are familiar with our International Student Refund Policy as well as the terms of your student visa. If you’re a NZAID scholar, you can’t change your programme or courses without prior approval from your sponsoring agency and your home government. It’s important to realise that such a request is rarely granted, so if you are contemplating a change, please talk to Student Services staff first.
If you wish to apply, complete the form and return it to Student Services. The fee for this is outlined in the fees guide (you will receive a refund if waiver is not given). You must be registered in the course in order for a partial waiver to be valid, and you still need to pay the full tuition fees for any courses for which you are granted partial waiver of assessment. If you are successful in gaining a waiver, and as part of that you are exempt from a field trip, you may be refunded the cost of travel which has been allocated within the course fee. The decision regarding your application is made by the Divisional Director, although we’d recommend you discuss it with the lecturer concerned. Check the Important Dates for application deadlines.
Field Trips Some courses include field trips where you visit a business or environment. These trips may be held during class time or on a specific field trip day. There are five field trip days scheduled during each semester and these are included in the semester timetable. If a field trip is part of a course outline or is programme-based, it is compulsory. The course prescriptions indicate which courses include a field trip or tour. The costs for these trips are not included in your tuition fees.
Partial Waiver of Assessment If you fail a course and you decide you want to repeat it in a subsequent year, you can apply for what’s called a “partial waiver of assessment”. Being granted a waiver means you may be exempt from some or all of the tests, assignments and field trips. You still need to sit the final examination. Applications are available from the Student Services desk or by writing to: Student Services, PO Box 84, Lincoln University, Lincoln 7647, New Zealand. You can also download the Application Form from the website.

FEES AT LINCOLN DEGREES UNDERGRADUATE
UNDERGRADUATE QUALIFICATIONS
Practical work
Prerequisites
Practical work is one of the strengths of the Lincoln qualifications and a major reason why Lincoln graduates and diplomates move so easily into employment. Employers value the breadth and depth of knowledge that practical work experience provides, and consistently rate this component of Lincoln University’s courses highly. Lincoln maintains excellent relations with employers in a wide range of industries. The Employment and Industry Liaison Unit on campus will assist you in making the most of this opportunity.
Many courses have prerequisites and you cannot enrol in a course until you have successfully completed the prerequisite courses, because the course you want to do will presume you have already mastered the material covered in the prerequisite course/s.
If you’re looking at taking a degree or diploma with a practical work requirement, you’ll need to understand what’s required as early as you can in order to effectively plan your practical work.
• BIOS 112, ECOL 201 – both courses are required as prerequisites;
Undergraduate diplomas and degrees with a practical work component include: • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Bachelor of Agriculture Bachelor of Agricultural Science Bachelor of Commerce (Agriculture) Bachelor of Commerce (Food Industry) Bachelor of Commerce (Valuation and Property Management) Bachelor of Landscape Architecture Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management Bachelor of Science in Food Science Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology Diploma in Farm Management Diploma in Horticultural Management Diploma in Agriculture Diploma in Horticulture
Find out more by talking to the Practical Work Coordinator, Caroline Duncan, phone 03 325 3838, ext 8428 or email caroline.duncan@lincoln.ac.nz

Prerequisites for each course are listed within the course prescriptions. Most of these are straightforward, but there are some where people have told us the prerequisites for a course may be confusing:
• LWST 101 or 102, or MGMT 104 or 105 plus either VAPM 202 or 203, or five 200 level units – requires a pass in just one of the listed 100 level courses as well as either one of the two VAPM courses or any five 200 level courses; • HORT 105 or PLSC 104, or BIOS 109 and ECOL 103 – requires a pass in either HORT 105 or PLSC 104 or passes in both BIOS 109 and ECOL 103. You are also advised to take courses that are listed as recommended preparation. Under special circumstances, you may be given a dispensation to continue with a course without completing the prerequisite. Those circumstances are: • If you are transferring from another University and have completed a course that covers the same topics as the Lincoln University prerequisite course; • Hardship, or because the prerequisite would cause your course of study to be unreasonably extended. Your case will be referred to the University’s Academic
Administration Committee which will consider your circumstances, consult with the Divisional Director and look at your past academic record. Many applications of this type are declined, so we do advise you to consult with the adviser and examiner of the course before applying for a dispensation. If you do decide to apply, you do so online or, through LUCAS. Check the Important Dates in this book for application deadlines. Late applications will not be accepted. You may not need to complete listed prerequisites if: • You have a graduate status; • You’re at Lincoln on an approved Study Abroad and Global Mobility programme;
To Do:
Do I need to apply for a Partial Waiver of Assessment? Do I have the prerequisites for the courses I want to do? Do I need to change any of my courses? Have I planned out my course? The course planner at the back of this book will assist with you planning.
• You have an appropriate specified credit transferred from another university. Please discuss your enrolment with staff at Student Services in the first instance. There are normally no formal prerequisites for 600 level courses because it is the responsibility of the Academic Co-ordinator or supervisor to ensure you have the appropriate background to enrol in a 600 level course.

CertiďŹ cate Programmes
46
The great thing about Lincoln’s undergraduate certificates is that they don’t require you to have University Entrance in order to be admitted to the programme. Each Certificate can help you get ready for study at Lincoln, but in different ways:
• The Certificates in Commerce and Natural Resources are for those students who narrowly missed out on gaining University Entrance. They enable you to take a number of degree-level courses.
• The Certif icates of Foundation Studies and University Preparation get you ready to study for a bachelor’s degree.

Students may enter the B.L.A. with university entrance (undergraduate entry) or after having already completed a bachelor’s degree (graduate entry). It will take you four years of full-time study to complete the degree as an undergraduate entrant and two years for a graduate entrant. The course of study for each option is shown below.
Note: Students enrolling in the Intermediate Year of B.L.A. should be aware that it may be possible to devise a course of study that also meets the requirements for the Intermediate Year of the Victoria University Bachelor of Architecture and Bachelor of Building Science degrees.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES
Conjoint Degrees Conjoint enrolment is permitted in any two of the following eight degrees: • B.S.& I.T. • B.E.M.P. • B.Com. • B.Soc.Sc. • B.S.R.M. • B.Sc. • B.Tour.Mgt.
Up to 150 credits may be credited to both degrees. Therefore to complete a conjoint programme requires a minimum of 570 credits. Any course that is used to meet the major or 300 level requirements of one degree may not be used to meet the major or 300 level requirements of the other degree. The course of study must meet the regulations for each of the two component degrees.
Permission for conjoint enrolment will be granted only if you have sufficiently high grades for the Academic Administration Committee to be convinced that you will be able to handle the extra work required. The entrance requirement is, therefore, higher than the basic university entrance. Continued enrolment in a conjoint programme will be reviewed each year. If you wish to enter conjoint programmes you must apply to do so no later than the beginning of your second year of study. The minimum time for a conjoint programme is four years. To complete in four years will require you to enrol in more than the usual full-time workload.
If you seek admission to a conjoint programme, you must complete a Course of Study form in consultation with the Academic Co-ordinator for conjoint degrees. You are strongly advised to consult the Academic Co-ordinator before applying for conjoint enrolment. The course of study will then be submitted for Academic Administration Committee approval. Course of Study forms are available from Student Services. Further information on entrance requirements can be obtained from: The Undergraduate Administrators Phone: 0800 10 60 10 Email: info@lincoln.ac.nz

By thesis only
By examination and thesis
Students complete a thesis (worth 120 credits) over a one year period. The course of study is normally available only to students who hold a bachelor’s degree with first class or upper second class honours in the same field of study as the proposed research.
This is the usual method of completing a master’s degree and students are required to complete 120 credits of taught courses in their first year (or equivalent part-time study) followed by a thesis (worth 120 credits) in their second year.
Information on the options available for each of the master’s degrees is shown in the table below.
By examination only This means that you can satisfy the requirements of the degree by completing taught courses only. A dissertation (40 credits) must be included in the taught courses, unless otherwise specified.

UNDERGRADUATE POSTGRADUATE DEGREES DEGREES
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) The Doctor of Philosophy is an advanced research degree. PhD students conduct a major research project and present the results in the form of a thesis. Doctor of Philosophy level study must represent research that is original within the discipline. This research is designed to create advanced knowledge. Once completed, the thesis is examined by international experts in the field of the research. If you are a full-time PhD student, it is expected that you will complete the degree in three years, and normally in no more than four years. The minimum time for PhD is two years’ full -time study. Most students take longer than this minimum time. The maximum time allowed for full-time PhD students is five years. Students who study part-time throughout their course of study must complete within six years of starting. In some cases, if Lincoln considers that you have insufficient academic background in your area of proposed study, you may be required to undertake a bridging programme either before, or concurrent with your PhD study. This would normally be courses at master’s level. The Doctor of Philosophy is available in all the disciplines studied at Lincoln.
WHAT YOU WILL BE STUDYING
stages leading up to the completion of the research proposal, as well as during the research itself. In some cases, the staff member appointed as supervisor at the outset of the course of study will not be the final supervisor. This does not, however, reduce the importance of the role of the initial supervisor. You must also have at least one associate supervisor from the lecturing staff of the University. Co-supervisors may also be appointed from within or from outside the University. In exceptional circumstances, the Divisional Director may apply to the Academic Administration Committee for consent to appoint as the sole or primary associate supervisor a member of the research staff of the University. In approving your proposed course of study, the Postgraduate Co-ordinator is required to ensure coherence of your course of study and the adequacy of your previous studies as preparation for research in the proposed area. If your previous studies do not adequately prepare you for your research project, the Postgraduate Co-ordinator should identify the courses required for bridging. In approving your course of study, the Divisional Director must ensure that you comply with any conditions imposed on your course of study at admission.
Once you have been admitted to a PhD degree by the Academic Administration Committee, you need to choose the area in which you intend to conduct research. At this early stage, it is important that you have wide discussions with your Postgraduate Co-ordinator and with academic staff who specialise in your general field of interest, in order to give full and careful consideration to the course of study. Because PhD study is intended to create knowledge through original research, you will need to be sure that the topic offers the scope for originality. If you have not made personal contact with the relevant academic staff, you should ensure you meet staff and discuss the proposed course of study before the semester starts.
The structure and nature of the course of study must be in line with the PhD house rules if it is to be approved by the Postgraduate Co-ordinator. If a variation is sought from these rules, then Academic Administration Committee approval is necessary.
Through this process of consultation with the Divisional Director and other staff, you decide on your general research topic and supervisor.
• The thesis topic; • the names of your supervisor and associate supervisor; • the date of formal commencement; • any conditions imposed on admission.
The Postgraduate Co-ordinator will choose a supervisor from the lecturing staff of the division you are enrolled in. The supervisor will be appointed at the beginning of the course of study. This ensures that you will receive proper guidance and advice in the
The Divisional Director also makes an assessment of the Division’s capacity to resource the course of study. The Divisional Director must also ensure that the supervisor and associate supervisor are appropriately qualified for their roles. The Division is required to maintain a record of the full course of study including:

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES
Glossary Academic Administration Committee (AAC)
Conjoint Degree
The University authority that administers the regulations on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor and the Academic Board. Chaired by Mr Bruce Chapman, the AAC grants admission, confirms courses of study, awards credits, confirms grades and considers applications for special consideration.
Students with good academic records may apply for special permission to enrol for two degrees at the same time. By crosscrediting up to 10 units to both degrees and taking an additional course in each semester, the student can complete two three year degrees in four years.
Academic Board
Core
The Academic Board comprises elected professors, librarian, divisional directors and representatives of staff and students. The Board advises the Council on academic matters.
The core of a degree or diploma is the set of compulsory courses that must be passed before the degree or diploma can be awarded. There are two types of core. A core is “soft” when the regulation states that students must choose at least a certain number from a specified list of core courses. A core is “hard” if all of the courses in the core list must be taken.
Academic Co-ordinator An Academic Co-ordinator is a member of the academic staff who is given delegated authority to approve a student’s course of study.
Council The Council is the governing body of the University.
Academic Record A copy of a student’s complete academic record at university.
Course Adviser
Ad eundem statum
A course adviser is a member of the academic staff who is appointed to advise students on the selection of courses and other matters relating to their course of study.
This means “of equivalent standing”. If you hold a university entrance qualification for a country other than New Zealand you may apply for admission on the basis that the qualification is equivalent to that required for New Zealand entrance. If you have studied at a tertiary institution in the past you may apply to be admitted with credit from your previous study towards your proposed course of study.
Bachelor’s Degree A first or undergraduate degree normally requiring three or four years’ study. A bachelor’s degree usually requires specialisation and progression to an advanced level in at least one field of study.
Block Each course is assigned to a timetable block. Each block is then allotted certain hours in the week during which lectures, etc will take place.
The components or modules of a programme are called courses. A course is a module of work for which a grade is given that appears on the student’s transcript.
Course of Study A student’s course of study is the set of courses he or she is enrolled for in the current academic year.
Credits Credits are the measure of the ‘size’ of a course.
Cross-credits
Calendar
A credit towards a degree or diploma is a decision by the University that a student has completed study that is the equivalent of the work required for a particular course. A credit is awarded to a student on the basis of previous study towards another qualification.
A yearly publication of the University, which is the official list of regulations, courses, dates and other information.
Degree
Certificate of Proficiency (COP)
A degree is a programme of advanced study taught primarily by teachers who are active in research in their field.
A course taught and assessed, as required for a degree or diploma, but not for credit to a degree or diploma. Anyone who passes a course for a Certificate of Proficiency may apply to receive a certificate that states that the pass was granted. If a course is passed for a Certificate of Proficiency, then in many cases, it may later be credited to a degree or diploma.
Concurrent Enrolment When a student enrols in a course at Lincoln University at the same time as studying at another tertiary institution then the student is said to be concurrently enrolled.
186
Course
Division A division at Lincoln University is a group of staff members who conduct, or assist in the conduct of, teaching and research in a particular field.
Diploma A diploma is a sub-degree qualification. There are two sorts. An undergraduate diploma is a course requiring at least one or two years of full-time study. A postgraduate diploma normally requires a degree for admission and usually requires one year’s full-time study for completion.
Diplomate
Honours
A person who has completed the University’s requirements for a diploma and has been awarded the diploma.
Some degrees may be awarded with honours. In some cases honours involves one extra year of study. In other cases, it involves an enriched course of study, while in others the award of honours recognises the standard of the student’s work. There are different classes of honours, with first class honours denoting the highest award.
Dissertation A dissertation is an extended research essay.
Double Degree A student who takes one bachelor’s degree followed by, or concurrently with, another is said to be taking a double degree. This is similar to a conjoint degree, but allows fewer units to be cross-credited and requires a normal semester load of courses.
Electives A course that is not part of the core of a course but which is available to students enrolled in that course is called an elective.
Enrolment Enrolment is the process whereby students notify the University of an intention to study and provide to the University the detailed information on themselves, their status and their study intentions.
International Student A student from overseas, studying in New Zealand on a student permit.
Laboratory Many courses have laboratory requirements. These are usually practical sessions related to lecture material.
Lecture The main method of teaching at university.
Level Courses are taught at different levels that reflect the difficulty and the degree of advancement of the course.
Examiner
Limitation of Entry
A member of the academic staff responsible for the organisation of a course. Usually, the examiner does much of the lecturing in the course. Although other members of the staff may give lectures in the course, the examiner is the person who is responsible to the Divisional Director for the conduct of the course.
A limit placed on the number of students that can be registered for a particular course.
Exclusion
Limited Full-time In special circumstances, students may enrol more than halftime and be given the benefits of full-time status. This is called limited full-time.
A decision by a university to exclude a student from continuing studies at that university, usually on the grounds of unsatisfactory academic performance.
Major and Minor
Exemption
Master’s Degree
An exemption is a decision that a particular student will not be required to complete a core course or will not be required to pass a certain course for prerequisite purposes. An exemption decision is made on the grounds of the student’s previous study.
Field Trip/Field Tour Certain courses include field trips or tours. These may be visits to a business, a farm, a factory or some other place where you may see applications of the work you are studying. A trip is one day or less, while a tour lasts several days.
Full-time Each programme has a defined number of credits that make up a full-time course of study. This is very important for student allowances or loans purposes and for international students.
Grade
An area of study in which you specialise by taking a group of courses including advanced level courses.
An advanced programme taken by a graduate. The master’s degree usually builds on the area of specialisation and commonly involves research and a thesis.
Orientation A programme of events at the start of the year to introduce new students to university life.
Partial Waiver of Assessment A student who fails a course or receives a restricted pass in that course and who wishes to repeat that course may apply to be exempt some or all of that course’s tests, assignments and field trips. This is called a partial waiver of assessment. A partial waiver will never cover the final examination.
Part-time
A grade is awarded after the examination in a course and measures the student’s performance in the course. The highest is A+ and the lowest is E.
When only a portion of the units required for full-time study are taken the student is said to be part-time. Part-time study does not qualify a student for student allowances or some of the student loans provisions.
Graduate
PhD (Doctorate)
A person who has satisfied the requirements for a degree and has received that degree.
A higher degree following an honours or master’s programme. A PhD involves research and a thesis. The minimum time required for a PhD is two years’ full-time study.
Postgraduate Courses Normally undertaken by people who have qualif ied for a bachelor’s degree.
187
Practical Work
Semester
Some programme regulations require a specified period of related practical work to be completed before the student may graduate or be awarded their certificate or diploma.
The academic year is divided into two halves called semesters. The word ‘semester’ derives from the Latin words for ‘six’ and ‘month’.
Prerequisite
Stream
In some cases, students may not enrol in an advanced course unless they have satisfactorily completed a lower level course in the same field. In this case, the required lower level course is called a prerequisite. A course is only listed as a prerequisite for an advanced course if the University considers that students could not reasonably be expected to handle the advanced course without having the prerequisite.
The word refers to a subgroup of a class in a course. For instance, a class may be split up into different groups for laboratory classes. These groups are called streams.
Prescribed Course Some degrees and diplomas require students to enrol in a particular set of courses in a year and allow no electives. In this case, the students are said to be following a prescribed course.
Prescriptions A prescription for a course is a brief list of the topics to be covered in that course.
Programme The certificate, diploma, degree for which a student registers. Each programme consists of a number of courses, which are set out in the regulations for the programme.
Recommended Preparation When one course is thought by the University to be important, but not absolutely essential, as preparation for an advanced course, the course will be listed as recommended preparation for the advanced course. You are advised to have taken the recommended preparation before enrolling in the advanced course. You are not, however, required to have taken the recommended preparation.
Registry Registry staff are responsible for the general administration of the University including the enrolment of students and all administrative matters resulting from that enrolment including fees and examinations.
Regulations The regulations of the University and the programme regulations for degrees, diplomas and certificates are the rules by which staff and students operate. The regulations are listed in the Lincoln University Calendar.
Restriction Students may not receive credit for two courses that have a substantial amount of material in common. If there are two courses in the same schedule that have a substantial amount of common material, then there will be a restriction between them. In that case, you may not credit both to the degree or diploma.
Returning Student A student who has previously studied at Lincoln University.
Schedule The list of courses available to students enrolled in a programme is called the schedule. The schedule usually includes the course code, course name, prerequisites, recommended preparation and restrictions.
188
Student Enquiries Desk Located in Student Services, ground floor, George Forbes Building. Student Enquiries staff will be able to put you in touch with the most appropriate person to deal with any queries regarding your enrolment, course of study, fees, scholarships or any other administrative matters.
Timetable A daily programme of the time and place where courses are taught. Students can determine the times of lectures/laboratory sessions from the timetable block information contained in this book. Room locations will be available at the start of the semester. Please note that some laboratory streams and tutorials will be outside these times.
Transcript A transcript of your academic record is a copy of the record of your enrolment and grades.
Transferring Student A student who has had previous tertiary education within New Zealand but who was not last enrolled at Lincoln University.
Transitional Arrangements Sometimes, when changes are made to regulations or course schedules, it turns out that students who began under the old rules are unable to meet all of the new requirements. In this case, the University usually will set up transitional arrangements, which may include transitional prerequisites. These arrangements will normally apply for a particular group of students and normally only for a limited period.
Tutorial A small group teaching session where academic issues and problems of a course are discussed with a tutor.
Undergraduate A university student studying for a bachelor’s degree or a certificate or diploma course that did not require a previous degree for admission.
Unsatisfactory Progress Students whose academic progress is unsatisfactory may be excluded from further enrolment or may have conditions or limits placed on their enrolment. The regulations that define what constitutes unsatisfactory progress are set out in the Lincoln University Calendar.
APPENDIX I Examinations
EXAMINATIONS
RESULT NOTICE
All examinations are conducted according to the examination rules. The examination rules are available on the Lincoln University website. Students are advised to read them carefully. A summary of the rules is also provided in Appendix 3.
Examination results can be viewed via myRecord (www.lincoln. ac.nz/student.htm) once the marks have been confirmed by the post examination Academic Administration Committee meeting. These marks, however, may be subject to change if any aegrotat, special consideration, recount, reconsideration, or appeal decisions are still outstanding at the time of the examiners’ meetings.
Examination administration procedures may be altered from time to time as we strive to improve our service further. Examination dates and times will be published on the Lincoln University website at the end of week five of each semester.
TESTS The administration of tests is somewhat different from the administration of examinations. Tests in classes with fewer than 100 students are conducted by examiners, not the Assessments Office. Tests with class numbers of 100 students or more must be run under examination conditions and are administered by the Assessments Office; examiners are, however, allowed to determine exactly what form they wish their tests to take. This may mean that test conditions differ slightly from examination conditions. Usually, you will have been notified of the test conditions by your examiner, before the test.
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS If you have spec ial needs, that means you cannot take examinations under normal conditions, you should make your requirements for support and assistance at tests and examinations known in advance to: Jean Garner, Inclusive Education Officer Student Health Services, Ground Floor, Hudson Hall Phone: (64)(3) 325 2811 ext 8285
The dates for release of examination results is shown in the Calendar of Dates at the front of this publication.
GRADING SYSTEM Information outlining the grading system for examination results is available in Appendix 4. Please note that if you have applied for aegrotat consideration for a course, and if the result of the application has been decided before the printing of results, the outcome will be indicated in the examination results either by an “A: before the grade (if a grade only has been given), or by a “#” after the mark (if a mark and grade have been given). This indicator may also be used to show where the existing mark or grade remains unchanged after aegrotat consideration has been made. If you applied for an aegrotat, but if the outcome of the application has not been decided when the results were printed, then you will be informed of the outcome of the application by letter.
PROGRAMME COMPLETION
Resources and equipment needed for support for students with special needs are arranged through the Inclusive Education Office and notified to the Assessments Office well in advance of dates scheduled for tests and examinations.
You will be notified, either with your examination results notice or within one month of receiving your examination results notice, if you have completed your programme, i.e., your degree, diploma or certificate. If you expected that these results would have completed your programme but you have not been informed of this, it is important that the Academic Records Officer is notified.
N.B. Early advice of special needs requirements is essential in order for quality service.
PRACTICAL WORK
EXAMINATION RESULTS Your examination results not only reflect your performance in the examinations at the end of a semester. In nearly all courses, they are an amalgamation of the examination mark and your results in any in-term contributing class work, such as tests and assignments.
If you are taking a degree or diploma that has a practical work requirement, all practical work must be completed and approved by the Employment and Industry Liaison Unit, before you are eligible to graduate. Please note that graduation application forms are sent to students regardless of practical work completion status. You should return these forms to the Graduation Office by the due date in anticipation of completing practical work.
189
AEGROTAT APPLICATIONS
RECOUNT/RECONSIDERATION APPLICATIONS
Under what circumstances may application be made?
Where you sought a return of the examination script within 28 days of the date of publication of the results, an application for a recount or reconsideration will be accepted, provided the application is lodged within 28 days of the return of the script.
• If you have failed to sit an examination, or if you consider your performance has been seriously impaired by the effects of sickness or injury. • This application requires a medical aegrotat form. • If you have not been affected by sickness or injury, but have failed to sit an examination, or if you consider your performance has been seriously impaired because of any other circumstances beyond your control such as: • exceptional circumstances that have caused you grief, distress or trauma • acts of God (such as flooding or earthquake or natural disaster), acts of war or similar exceptional circumstances • other unusual and exceptional circumstances • misadventure This application requires a non-medical aegrotat form. • If, through oversight or mechanical failure or similar circumstances, you have missed an examination. • In this case you may apply for aegrotat consideration, and you may be awarded an ungraded pass or ungraded fail in the course depending on your performance during the semester. Alternatively, you may be permitted to sit a further examination. • This application requires a non-medical aegrotat form. • N.B. Permission to sit a further examination may be granted only by the Academic Administration Committee and only in exceptional circumstances. • You may submit a test aegrotat application to your examiner if, for any of the reasons stated previously, you have been prevented from completing: • an item of class work • practical work • an assignment • a test • or other activity (Please note that all pieces of in-term work will be referred to in this book by the term “test”. This term is also used on the aegrotat application form.)
A reconsideration application should not be lodged because you are disappointed in your grade or because the course involved is particularly important to your degree or diploma. Issues with regard to the content of an examination paper are a matter for appeal, not a reconsideration. A reconsideration is intended as a means of checking the marking when you believe that the published mark does not represent the standard of your work in the course. You will be expected to justify your request for a recount or reconsideration at the time of application. You must have reasonable grounds for your request, otherwise your application may be refused.
RECOUNTS On receipt of an application for a recount of an examination script, the examination script, the examiner will check the applicant’s script in order to ensure: • that each part of the script has been considered in the marking of the script • that the marks assigned for the components of the script have been correctly recorded • that the mark awarded for the script as a whole has been correctly derived from the component marks • that the mark awarded for the course as a whole has been derived correctly from the continuous assessment and examination components.
RECONSIDERATIONS
Test aegrotat applications are made on medical or non-medical test aegrotat forms as appropriate.
On receipt of an application for a reconsideration of an examination script, the examiner will perform each of the checks listed above and, in addition, will remark the whole of the script.
Further information on the aegrotat process can be found in Appendix 2.
In any case there is no suggestion that lenience should be shown to a candidate during the reconsideration or recount process.
RETURN OF EXAMINATION SCRIPTS
The result of a recount or reconsideration will be conveyed by letter, normally within three weeks of receipt of the application.
Once examination results have been promulgated, you may ask for a copy of your examination scripts. (These scripts are available for release until six months after the examination.) Please note that where you are considering an examination recount or reconsideration application, you may wish to check your script beforehand. The fee for this service is $20 for each script.
190
Recount or reconsideration applications should be lodged only where it is considered that a mistake has been made in the marking of the script or in the processing of marks, e.g. it is suspected that an assignment mark has been missed when calculating final marks.
There is a fee of $50.00 per course for recounts and $100.00 per course for reconsiderations, which you must pay upon application. If your application results in a mark change your fee will be refunded. Application forms are available from Student Services. Students may make an aegrotat application if they believe their performance in a test or examination has been impaired as a result of illness, injury or other critical circumstances. Students are expected to sit the examination or test, unless severe circumstances prevent them from doing so. A justified aegrotat application does not guarantee a passing grade.

APPENDIX 2 AEGROTAT APPLICATION
TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR AEGROTAT CONSIDERATION THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MUST BE SATISFIED:
The application needs to contain your account of the nature of the circumstances and how they affected you.
1. 2.
The application should include evidence of the circumstances described in the application or a statement from an independent person able to attest to the circumstances described in the application. It should indicate the period over which your performance has been affected and it should be in a form suitable for submission to a qualified referee.
You must be enrolled for the course(s) in question. You must have repor ted the illness, injur y or other circumstances on the aegrotat application form accompanied by relevant documentation and lodged the form not later than 48 hours after the last examination affected. N.B. If an applicant satisfies the Academic Board that it was beyond his or her control to comply with this requirement, a late application may be considered, provided that it has been submitted at the earliest subsequent opportunity and before the publication of the examination results. Requests for permission to submit late applications must be made in writing to the Assistant Vice Chancellor (Academic).
APPLICATION MADE DUE TO ILLNESS OR INJURY As soon as practicable after the illness or injury, you must consult a registered medical or dental practitioner or other professional person able to attest to the circumstances of the application. This consultation must have taken place, wherever possible, before the examination(s) or otherwise within 24 hours of the examination(s). Hand the aegrotat application form to the practitioner or professional person you consult. He or she will then be expected to provide a report on your condition. The report must include the following information: • That the practitioner examined you and on what date • that, in the practitioner’s opinion you were unable, through illness or injury to sit the examination(s) of, if you did take the examination, the extent to which, in the practitioner’s opinion, your illness or injury was likely to have impaired your performance in the examination(s) • sufficient detail of the illness or injury to show clearly that you were not responsible for your disability • the nature of the illness or injury set out in sufficient detail and in a form suitable for submission to a qualified referee • the period over which your performance has been affected. A report that fails to comply with these requirements may not be accepted. You leave the application form with the practitioner or professional person. He or she will be responsible for filling in the details above and forwarding it to Lincoln University’s medical aegrotat referee for returning it to the University.
APPLICATION MADE DUE TO CRITICAL NON-MEDICAL GROUNDS OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND A CANDIDATE’S CONTROL As soon as practicable after the critical circumstances, you must lodge a non-medical aegrotat application form at the Registry. Where the application relates to bereavement, an act of God or other exceptional circumstances, beyond your control, your application form must be submitted to the Registry within 48 hours of the last affected examination.
192
Where the application relates to grief, distress or trauma, the report should include a statement from a counsellor, medical practitioner or other professional person and must include the following information: • That the practitioner interviewed you and on what date • that in the practitioner’s opinion, you were unable, through grief, distress or trauma to sit the examination(s) or the extent to which, in the practitioner’s opinion, your grief, distress or trauma was likely to have impaired your performance in the examination(s) • the nature of the circumstances leading to grief, distress or trauma set out in sufficient detail and in a form suitable for submission to a referee • the period over which your performance has been affected. This consultation should have taken place, if possible, before the examination(s) or, if not, within 24 hours of the affected examination(s). For an application made due to misadventure, oversight or mechanical failure: As soon as practicable after the examination affected by the application, you must submit an aegrotat application form containing an account of the circumstances that led to the application, including a statement from an independent person able to attest to the circumstances described in the application.
REFEREES All examination aegrotat applications are submitted to a referee. This is an independent person who looks at the circumstances set out on your application and decides if aegrotat consideration is justified or not. • In some circumstances the referee may ask you to provide further information. • If your aegrotat application is found to be unjustified, then you will be informed of this by letter, and no adjustment will be made to the mark or grade you earned in the examination. Only if your application is found to be justified, will any consideration be given to assessing your performance in light of the aegrotat circumstances. • In the case of an examination which you sat and in which you consider your performance to have been impaired, the aegrotat referee rules on whether the degree of impairment is mild, moderate or severe.
There is one referee for all medical aegrotats and one for non-medical aegrotats. This ensures that we apply consistent standards in deciding whether to give aegrotat assessment.
HOW DO I APPLY? To apply for an aegrotat you must complete the aegrotat application form. These forms are available from Student Services or the University’s web page at www.lincoln.ac.nz/ student.htm or www.lincoln/ac.nz/stusrvc/stuserv.htm The information collected in an aegrotat form is required by the University in order to assess whether aegrotat consideration for the tests or examinations covered by this application is justified and, if so, the extent of consideration that should be given. There are four types of aegrotat forms: • Examination Medical • Test Medical • Examination Non-Medical • Test Non-Medical Each form provides an area to differentiate between tests/ examinations which have been sat (and where you consider your performance was impaired) and those which have been missed. Please remember to use each section appropriate as an error may hinder or invalidate your application.
WHAT DOES AN AEGROTAT APPLICATION ACHIEVE? Examinations If your aegrotat application has been found to be justified you may be granted: • An ungraded pass, i.e. Aegrotat Pass, shown on your transcript as AP • an ungraded fail, i.e. Aegrotat Fail, shown on your transcript as AF • a passing grade, for example Aegrotat C+, shown on your transcript as AC+ • a failing grade, for example Aegrotat D, shown on your transcript as AD • a passing mark and grade • a failing mark and grade • the opportunity to sit a further examination (please note that this requires Academic Administration Committee approval) • no change (i.e. your original mark and grade remain) • no recommendation, shown on your transcript as NR (i.e. there is insufficient evidence for the University to determine what you would have obtained in the absence of the aegrotat circumstances) • a deferment till further evidence is available. If the application is based on misadventure, oversight or mechanical failure, then the possible outcomes are restricted to: • An ungraded pass or an ungraded fail (AP or AF) • the opportunity to sit a further examination • no change • no recommendation (NR).
The result of any further examination offered as a result of a successful application will be recorded as pass, or fail. • (ii) An aegrotat pass will be awarded only in cases where your work before the examination concerned has been considerably above pass level. No candidate shall be permitted to be awarded an ungraded pass on more than one occasion during the course of his or her enrolment at Lincoln University.
TESTS If you apply for aegrotat assessment in a test, the Divisional Director has the discretion to make whatever provision may be appropriate for you. This may include specifying alternative work which may be required to be submitted before a grade is awarded. The Divisional Director will make this assessment in consultation with the examiner of the course.
APPEALS An appeal procedure exists if you are dissatisfied with the outcome of your aegrotat applications. To appeal an aegrotat decision you must write to the Assistant Vice-Chancellor (Academic), outlining the circumstances and basis of your appeal. The outcome of an appeal is determined by the Academic Administration Committee and you will be advised in writing of the Committee’s decision. There is no charge for lodging an appeal.
THE STATUS OF EXAMINATION RULES AND EXAMINATION SUPERVISORS Examination supervisors are appointed by Lincoln University to oversee the conduct of examinations in the terms of the regulations of the University and these rules. Students undertaking examinations are expected to follow the instructions of examination supervisors at all times. Breaches of these rules, unacceptable behaviour in an examination venue and failure to follow the instructions of supervisors are treated as serious breaches of discipline and will be referred for action to the University Proctor. The Discipline Regulations provide for fines and other penalties in the case of failure to follow instructions. The Discipline Regulations are set out in the Lincoln University Calendar. Dishonest practice and breach of instructions in relation to examinations is regarded as misconduct in the terms of the Discipline Regulations. Examination rules are detailed in the Examination Timetable published before each examination session.
DISHONEST PRACTICE Cheating or any other dishonest practice in examinations cannot and will not be tolerated. Dishonest practice attracts severe penalties, including heavy fines, denial of credit and suspension or exclusion from the University. Cheating is a serious offence. It is not worth the risk.
Note: In the case of an application for an aegrotat based on misadventure, oversight, mechanical failure or similar circumstances. • (i) Permission to sit a further examination will be granted only where the examiner has been unable to make an aegrotat assessment and where your class work gives the Academic Board reasonable grounds to think that you will be successful.

FAIL GRADES D E
40 - 49 0 - 39
RP indicates Result Pending, meaning that there is still work that has been submitted but not marked that will contribute to the assessment in the course.
MP Mark Pending MP indicates Mark Pending, meaning that there is still work that has been submitted but not marked that will contribute to the assessment in the course.
DNS Did Not Sit This grade is awarded when:
SPECIAL GRADES
• You are validly registered; and • you have not taken the final examination (see Aegrotat Grades below). If you complete a formal complete withdrawal outside of the allowed withdrawal date in the semester, a DNS will be awarded, even in courses with no final examination.
NC NOT COMPLETE (refer also to FFT below)
WDN Withdrawn
An NC Not Complete grade is awarded when you have not completed a mandatory requirement for the course.
This grade is awarded when you formally withdraw from a course after the second week (third week for master’s students) of the semester but before the final date for course withdrawals. The critical factor in deciding if a WDN may be given is the Registry record of the date of the withdrawal.
UNGRADED PASS/FAIL P Pass F Fail Ungraded pass or fail are awarded in special circumstances only.
An NC grade may be awarded only if the course outline is explicit in stating that the missed item is a mandatory component of the course and that a pass cannot be awarded to a student who has not completed the item. An NC grade stands for one calendar year from the release of examination results, or until you have retaken the missing component. Once the missing item has been completed and a final mark is released it replaces the NC on your record. If you do not complete this component within one calendar year, the NC grade will be replaced by a fail grade. An NC has the status of a fail grade.
IC Incomplete IC indicates Incomplete meaning that there is still work not submitted (for acceptable reasons) that will contribute to the assessment in the course. You have four calendar months from the release of examination results to complete the outstanding item. A final grade will be released once all of the work is submitted and marked. If the missing work is not completed by the due date, the examiner will submit a grade, counting as zero the missing work.
CC Course Complete CC indicates that you have completed the first semester of a full-year course.
