When are fees due?

Your fees are due the day that your study programme begins. If you enrol after the first day of the semester, you need to pay your fees as soon as your enrolment is complete. 

International students studying in New Zealand should pay their fees with enough time for a student visa application to be issued by the relevant start date.

If you are an international student outside of New Zealand and are studying with us online, you do not need a student visa. Your fees should be paid in full by the first day of the relevant semester.

International students enrolled in a full-year course must pay the year's fees at the start of the enrolment period.

Australian students

Australian citizens or permanent residents studying in New Zealand will pay the same fees as New Zealand citizens. If you are studying by distance in Australia, you pay international fees.

You are not eligible to apply for a New Zealand Student Loan or Allowance unless you've been living in the country for at least three years and you normally reside in New Zealand.
