Fee Protection and Refunds
Fees Protection Procedures
- Student fees will be deposited into a Static Trust Account administered by an approved professional as per the NZQA Fee Protection Policy 2021. The amount held in the Static Trust Account will be at least equal to the sum of all the fees paid by each individual student should a refund be required and will be held for a minimum of 10 days after students are required to be in attendance on the course.
- If the College voluntarily withdraws, or ceases to offer its programmes, all efforts would be made to protect student interests. Students will be given a choice of receiving a pro-rata refund or assistance to enrol in a similar programme with a transfer of fees.
- All students will sign the Student Acknowledgement Form (Student Fee Protection Static Trust acknowledgement). This will be held in the student’s file.
Refund Regulations: All students, including International Students
- A student may withdraw from a programme by completing the Withdrawal from Programme form and submitting it to the Student Administration Manager.
- There will be no refunds provided for withdrawals from a course or programme after two weeks (14 calendar days) from the semester start date.
- A refund of all payments made less costs, that will not exceed 10% of the total fees paid or $500 whichever is the lesser, will be made to a student who withdraws within two weeks (14 calendar days) of the commencement of a semester.
- If a student withdraws before the semester commences, they will receive a refund of all course fees and compulsory student services fees paid. The administration fee is not refundable.
