Studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fee Protection Policy In accordance with the Education Act 1989 and Education Amendment Act 2011, your course fees are protected by being held by the Public Trust in a trust account. Monies held in the trust can only be released to NZCC on the authorisation of the Public Trust. The trust account is a multi-deposit account with money held in individual names, and operates on a draw-down procedure on a prorata basis each fortnight in arrears.

Payment of Fees Full payment of fees is required at least 10 days from when students receive their invoice. Fees are calculated in calendar weeks regardless of any public holidays that may fall during a week.

The contract between you and NZCC will not come into effect until the fees have been paid in full and the fees have been received by NZCC.

Student Support Services New Zealand Career College offers a network of support to students based on the Whare Tapa Rima model (adapted from Mason Durie’s Whaiora Whare Tapa Rima model, 1994). We believe that your well-being will encourage your academic success at NZCC and strengthen your foundation for future goals and achievements. As well as the individual support students receive from academic staff, NZCC’s Student Support Services cover a wide range of services to address your needs and concerns over the duration of your programme, including:

The usual minimum age accepted for studying at NZCC is 18 years.

To qualify to study under the Youth Guarantee scheme, students must be 16 or 17 years old at the time of commencing study; or be 15 years old at the time of commencing study and have an early leaving exemption from school; or be a teen beneficiary, aged between 16 to 18 years at the time of commencing their study and referred by their Work and Income case manager to a Youth Guarantee programme. Where a Youth Guarantee learner requires further study in order to complete their qualification and needs to re-enrol, that learner must be aged under 18 years at the time the learner commences the subsequent period of study. The only exception to this is if the learner is a teen beneficiary.

Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Recognition If you believe you have the knowledge and skills being taught in a course prior to enrolling in the course, you may apply for Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

However, if you are offered RPL, you may have to complete assessments at NZCC or to obtain official documentation. You may be required to pay an RPL assessment fee.
