Basis of contract
A completed NZCC Enrolment Application Form forms the basis of a contract between you as the applicant and NZCC. Upon your acceptance, your place is reserved at our college. When you have received a Conditional Offer of Place from NZCC, it will remain a conditional until you have paid your fees in full and the fees have been received by NZCC. 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.
There are a limited number of places available at NZCC. Therefore you are advised to apply early as applications will be accepted in the order in which they are received. NZCC reserves the right to accept or decline a student’s application or to offer a different course to a student.
Age restriction
The minimum age accepted for studying at NZCC is 18 years (with the exception of Youth Training programmes).
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and Credit Recognition
If you think that 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). This may mean that you do not have to attend some classes and/or complete some course assessments. You may also be exempt from paying the corresponding course fees.
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. All enquiries about RPL should be discussed with NZCC’s National Academic Manager. Credits for unit standards that have been earned elsewhere are recognised by NZCC. You must present evidence of this on your Record of Learning when you start your course. You are not required to be assessed again for unit standards you have already been credited with. Alternative work, extension work or the opportunity to develop skills where extra work is needed may be given to you in these cases.
Code of Practice
NZCC has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the Ministry of Education, Copies of the Code are available on request from NZCC or from the New Zealand Ministry of Education website www.minedu.govt.nz/goto/international
