STUDY PLAN

CERTIFICATES AND DIPLOMAS Open Polytechnic certificates An Open Polytechnic certificate is made up of at least two courses and can be used as a stepping stone to a diploma or degree.

OPEN POLYTECHNIC DIPLOMAS An Open Polytechnic diploma is the equivalent of one year’s full-time study or can be completed in 2–3 years of part-time study. Diplomas can be used as stepping stones to Open Polytechnic degrees, and courses completed for one diploma may be credited towards another diploma.

A diploma is made up of six courses. At least four of those courses must be at or above the level at which the diploma is rated. So for a Level 6 diploma, you must complete at least four courses at Level 6 or above.

We suggest you plan your study so that, where applicable, the first qualification you gain is a diploma. Please note that some courses have prerequisites, so you might not be able to complete a diploma in two trimesters.

Note: All certificate and diploma courses are 20 credits.

Plan your qualification online with My Study Plan It’s easy to start planning your Open Polytechnic certificate or diploma with our fun and interactive online planning tool called My Study Plan.

GENERAL INFORMATION Assessment We measure your progress and determine whether you have achieved the learning outcomes of your course through assessments such as essays, reports, projects, and examinations.

There are two types of assessment: · Formative assessment involves activities and feedback designed to improve learning. This is not used to decide your final result. · Summative assessment counts towards your final result.

Some courses also have a 3-hour final examination. To be eligible to sit the final examination you must finish all the summative in-course assessments by their due date.

For some courses you will need to attend contact sessions or assessment workshops while other courses have voluntary contact sessions (depending upon demand).

Check our website for details.

To pass each course, you must: · Submit all your summative in-course assessments by their due date.

SPECIAL ASSISTANCE FOR EXAMINATIONS If you need special arrangements to enable you to sit an examination, we may be able to help. Download and return the Application for Special Assistance form, from openpolytechnic.ac.nz/specialassistance We will need your application form at least six weeks before your examination. The more notice we have, the more likely it is we will be able to help you. If you would like to discuss your needs, contact us by emailing exams@openpolytechnic.ac.nz

Admission requirements You require one of the following: · At least 60 credits at NCEA Level 3. · Passes in Level 5 courses that are recognised in New Zealand. · An overseas qualification assessed to be equivalent to one of these by the programme leader. · Passes in other certificate/diploma qualifications or courses considered appropriate by the programme leader.
