GENERAL INFORMATION Assessment
EXAMINATIONS
We measure your progress and judge whether you have achieved the learning outcomes of your course through assignments such as essays, reports, tasks, projects, block course work, examinations, and practicums.
We have examination venues throughout New Zealand. You will be allocated a venue closest to your home address. Before you choose the courses that you want to enrol in, check that you can attend the examination, because examination times and dates cannot be changed. Examination dates and times are listed on our website.
There are two types of assessment: Formative assessment, which involves activities and feedback designed to improve learning. This is not used to decide your final result. Summative assessment, which involves grading of in-course assessments which decide 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: · finish all your summative in-course assessments by their due date · score at least 40% in each assessment · score at least 40% in the final examination (if the course has a final examination) · receive a final mark of at least 50% of the total possible marks for the course. Assessment varies for each course. Full details will be in the course information, which is sent to you when you enrol.

Sitting examinations outside New Zealand If you are, or will be, living overseas at the time of the examination, you will need to arrange a suitable examination venue and an appropriate supervisor. We will contact you eight weeks before the examination to help you make these arrangements. Any costs relating to the overseas venue and supervision will be your responsibility, including the costs associated with your supervisor returning your completed examination paper to us by courier. Note: A fee may apply if you need to sit your examination overseas and did not pay the international handling fee at the time of enrolment. 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.
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 considered appropriate by the programme leader. If you don’t meet these criteria, please contact us. We will then consider the likelihood of you being successful based on your prior learning and/or other qualifications. We recommend that you think carefully about both your previous education achievements and your personal commitments before choosing which programme to enrol in. If this will be your first enrolment at tertiary level, we strongly advise you to think about doing our Certificate in Tertiary Study Skills first.

English language
Fees
English is the language of study at Open Polytechnic. You will need to be able to read and write well in English so that you can understand course materials and also submit written assessments. There are criteria that must be met if English is not your first language. For more information about English language requirements, please call freephone 0508 650 200 or visit openpolytechnic.ac.nz/englishlanguage
Fees are displayed on each course and qualification page on our website. Visit openpolytechnic.ac.nz and browse our subjects and courses to find the fee information you need.
COMPUTER AND ONLINE ACCESS
Texts can be bought online via a link on the qualification page on our website. Or you can go to vicbooks.co.nz and click the Open Polytechnic link.
Given the significance of computer usage in modern business and organisational settings, it is important that you develop strong computer competencies. You will need access to a computer because: · your in-course assessments need to be word-processed and submitted online · many courses require computers as an integral part of the course work · some courses have assessable components that require participation in discussion forums on Online Campus · important information such as newsletters and assessment feedback are sent electronically. See Appendix 1 for more information and the technical requirements. If you do not have access to a computer and the internet please contact us to discuss your study options.
Study time All courses have a credit value which helps you work out how much study time you will need. Allow about 10 hours of study per credit. To determine how many hours of study this means each week, divide the total hours by the enrolment period. For example, if you enrol in a 20-credit course over a trimester (17 weeks), you will need to complete about 11–12 (200 ÷ 17) hours of study per week.
10
Set texts A list of set texts required is on our website at openpolytechnic.ac.nz/textbooks
Loans, allowances and other funding Student loans and allowances are administered by StudyLink. We recommend that you apply for a student loan at least four weeks before the trimester starts. We cannot confirm your enrolment or send your course materials until your fees have been paid. For more information, or to find out if you’re eligible for a student loan, visit studylink.govt.nz or give StudyLink a call on 0800 88 99 00.

OVERSEAS HANDLING FEE
You can enrol online from our website. Visit openpolytechnic.ac.nz/howtoenrol for more information.
If you live overseas, you will need to pay an extra international handling charge. The amount of this fee will depend on where you live. The overseas handling fee will be added to your course fees when you enrol.
You will be advised if additional information is needed to progress your application, and you can usually complete this online during the application process. Please check the key dates section at the beginning of this brochure for enrolment deadlines for each trimester. We recommend you begin your studies at Level 5 and work your way up through the levels. If you are considering doing more than one course per trimester, please send us a copy of your previous successful full-time study record at degree level (Level 5 or stage 1 university).
RECOGNITION OF PRIOR LEARNING (RPL) RPL is the process used to recognise your existing experience and skills in formal qualifications. RPL takes account of work and life experience, and previous education and training courses which may be relevant to your course. You may be able to use RPL to qualify for credits towards papers in a formal qualification with us. If your application is accepted you will need to provide verified evidence that you have met the learning outcomes of the course you are seeking credit for. For more information visit openpolytechnic.ac.nz/rpl

CROSS-CREDITS AND CREDIT TRANSFER If you have already passed some courses (either through us or another tertiary provider) that you think will exempt you from having to do some parts of a qualification, you can apply for cross-credit or credit transfer. You will need to provide evidence that you have already met the learning outcomes of the course you want credit for. You can apply for cross-credit and credit transfer after you have enrolled. Cross-credits may be specified or unspecified. A specified credit means the content, level and learning outcomes of the course or qualification you have already done closely matches one of our courses. An unspecified credit is where you have an unrelated course or qualification from another recognised tertiary institution and want to apply for unspecified credit towards our qualification. We will decide how many credits will be awarded, and at what level. Unspecified credits may only be used to replace elective courses within a qualification. The number of unspecified credits will depend on the degree and major you are studying. Please contact us for advice. See the last page of this brochure for contact details. The most cross-credits allowed is up to two-thirds of a degree (12 × 20 credit courses), up to half of a diploma (3 × 20 credit courses), and one course per certificate. You cannot gain partial cross-credit for a course, and you cannot cross-credit to Level 7 courses. You may request informal advice about which courses might cross-credit. That advice is for guidance only and does not guarantee the award of cross-credits.
· A letter of authorisation from your employer (on letterhead) confirming that you need to undertake this training as part of your job.
