(i)
be admitted to the University
and
(ii) follow the prescribed programme in the order prescribed or indicated in accordance with the
regulations governing that programme
and
(iii) comply with the provisions of the Examination Regulations.
b Each student must ensure that, before confirming their enrolment, their proposed programme and
enrolment complies with the regulations of the qualification to which they have been admitted or they have
been approved a variation under the Programme Variations Regulations.
c A faculty may determine whether a programme will be offered part-time or full-time for new students in any
particular academic year. This information will be made available on the University’s website.
d Where electives are prescribed for a programme, the faculty may at its discretion determine which of them
shall be available in any term provided that sufficient electives are available to enable students to complete
their programme.
e A student who has enrolled for the second semester in a course or courses that have a first semester
prerequisite or corequisite and who fails the prerequisite/corequisite course(s) may not proceed with the
second semester enrolment unless a concession is granted by the relevant Programme Director.
f Where in the opinion of an Academic Head an insufficient number of students has enrolled in a course taught
in the Department or School or where there are insufficient staff to teach it, that Academic Head may, with
the relevant faculty approval, cancel that course not later than one week after the beginning of the term
in which it would have been taught. A course may not be cancelled if the ability of students to complete or
progress in their programme is impacted and appropriate alternative courses cannot be made available. In
lieu of cancellation an Academic Head may propose changes to course delivery to accommodate students.
A student is not to be charged a fee for any alteration to enrolment required because of the cancellation of
a course.
g If a student wishes to enrol in a course that is not explicitly listed in the Structure and Content or Schedule
of their programme, they may do so, provided that:
(i)
the Structure and Content or Schedule of their programme includes a provision for them to enrol in
other courses, or they have approval from their Programme Director to include the course
and
(ii) approval is given by the relevant Course Director
and
(iii) any prerequisite, corequisite or other conditions are met or the Course Director has, in approving the
enrolment, waived those requirements
or
(iv) it is completed as a Certificate of Proficiency.
h In respect of individual courses, ‘to complete’ means to attend all required classes, submit any required
assessment, sit any required examinations, and be awarded a pass grade.
Programme Variations
11 A Programme Director may approve a variation to the courses a student must complete as part of their
programme of study. The following rules apply:
a There must be a compelling academic reason for the variation, or evidence of exceptional circumstances
and/or hardship to the student.
b The variation must be recorded on the student’s academic record.
c Variations must not reduce the total points required to complete a qualification.
d The extent of variation must not jeopardise the integrity of the qualification. The variation must not exceed
one quarter of the total points value of the qualification, or remove a core requirement e.g. a research
project, requirement for level 9 courses or the regulations applying to the award of honours.
e Variations will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will not set a precedent.
Beyond this, variations may only be approved in accordance with the Provost’s Special Powers.

Notes:
(i) Course dates need to be set so that they incorporate all the hours of learning required for a course.
(ii) Deadlines for course additions and deletions are calculated from the course commencement date as shown
in Student Services Online except in relation to Regulation 52.
(iii) All courses must be scheduled to start on a Monday, except for those starting on the first day of the Late Year
Term and Summer School, or where an exception has been approved by Student and Academic Services. The
notional start date may be a different date to when teaching actually starts.
49 It is not sufficient for a student to notify a deletion solely to the department or faculty. The deletion request
must be completed through Student Services Online, or as an exception, by written notification received by the
University by the deadline.
50 Where special circumstances apply, a student may apply for an exemption from additional fees from the
Director of Student and Academic Services (or delegated authority).
51 Deadline dates as specified in the table above are calculated from the start date of the course and class a
student is enrolled in as specified in Student Services Online. The start date of a course and class may be prior
to the period of teaching for the course or class.
52 Where a thesis or research portfolio enrolment commences on 1 December, the deadline for deleting the
enrolment, and the accompanying Semester One and Two enrolment, or for making changes to the points value
of the enrolment in Semester One, is the fourth Friday of the course.
53 Where a student is on an approved outbound exchange programme the deadline to change enrolment will
be based on the commencement date of the course at the host University and not the placeholder course in
Student Services Online. The Director of Student and Academic Services may approve a change to the deadlines
for these students to reflect individual circumstances.
Late Deletion
54 a Late applications to delete a course or courses will be considered by the Assessment Services Manager only
in exceptional circumstances (such as illness, injury or events beyond the control of the student) and upon
submission by the student of appropriate evidence.
b Applications must be through the approved University process by the last day of lectures of the semester,
quarter, Summer School, or Late Year Term for the course. For CTFOUND courses applications must be made
through the approved University process by the last day of the course in which the student is enrolled.
c Following the decision on an application for late deletion of a course, the student may apply for
reconsideration of that decision to the Director, Student and Academic Services whose decision shall be
final. Applications must:
(i)
be received in writing, no later than four weeks after the student is notified of the decision
and
2025 Calendar
Enrolment and Programme Regulations
43
(ii) be accompanied by further evidence in support of the application.
d Where a student has been permitted by the Assessment Services Manager or Director, Student and Academic
Services to delete a course after the prescribed date under this regulation, any refund or credit of tuition fees
will be granted in accordance with the Tuition Fees Refund or Credit Guidelines given in Regulation 57.
Late Substitutions
55 a An academic head or nominee may approve the substitution of or direct the substitution of one course for
another in a relevant subject, with the same duration, points value and taught in the same academic term.
b In exceptional circumstances the relevant Associate Dean Postgraduate Research may approve the
substitution of a smaller research component for a larger one if, during enrolment, it becomes clear that it
cannot be completed as originally intended and that a smaller research component should be completed
instead. This applies to research components of 30 points or more and the difference in points value between
the substituted courses must be no more than 60 points.
c In exceptional circumstances the relevant Associate Dean Postgraduate Research may approve the
substitution of a larger research component for a smaller research component if, during enrolment, it
becomes clear that there is potential for a project of greater scale/size to be completed and the student is
capable of completing it in the time available. This applies to research components of 30 points or more and
the difference in points value between the substituted courses must be no more than 60 points.
d Courses may be substituted up until three weeks before the end of lectures for the term in which the course
is taught. In exceptional circumstances a later substitution may be approved by the relevant Associate Dean
Academic. A substitution will not be approved outside of the academic year in which the courses were taught
or once a grade has been entered for the course proposed to be substituted.
e The substituted course will be removed from the student’s academic record without penalty.
f A course substitution may result in an adjustment to the student’s tuition fees. If there is a variation between
charges payable in respect of the original and the substituted course, the student will either be required to
pay the difference in those charges if the tuition fee for the substituted course is higher or receive a partial

be obtained.
d The application will be reviewed by Assessment Services and Campus Care, with the assistance of University
Health and Counselling services when required, to confirm the student was not responsible for the illness,
injury or exceptional circumstances and such illness, injury or circumstances were likely to have impacted
the student’s preparation and/or performance in the examination, or likely to have prevented the student
from sitting the examination. If necessary, further evidence may be required from the student to enable this
confirmation, provided it can reasonably be obtained in the opinion of Assessment Services.
e The student may be granted an aegrotat or compassionate grade by a Course Director if the above conditions
are satisfied and the conditions in 12f are met.
f To grant an aegrotat or compassionate grade, the Course Director must certify that:
(i)
the student’s overall coursework and tests results in the course was at minimum at a C– standard
and
(ii) for a student who sat the examination, the mark attained in the examination was lower than expected
taking into account the student’s coursework and test results in that course
and
(iii) the student is in their opinion clearly worthy of a pass in the course or, where relevant, to be awarded
a class of Honours, Merit or Distinction.
g When considering the application, the Course Director may take into account the student’s work in other
courses, with particular weight given to other courses for the same degree where available.
h The above is subject to the restrictions that:
(i)
No more than one third of the total points value credited to a degree or diploma may be awarded with
an aegrotat or compassionate grade granted under this Regulation.
(ii) A
student for a Masters degree, Bachelors Honours Postgraduate degree or a Postgraduate Diploma in
which Honours, Merit or Distinction is available may:
(a) instead of applying for aegrotat or compassionate consideration, apply to re-enrol in all of the
courses affected
or
(b) apply for aegrotat or compassionate consideration in courses worth up to the points limit specified
above, and to re-enrol in any other affected courses in order to retain eligibility for Honours, Merit
or Distinction.

student may apply to Assessment Services for reconsideration of that decision.
b An application for reconsideration must be made:
(i) in writing to Assessment Services no later than fourteen days after the student is notified of the
decision on their application
and
(ii) must be accompanied by further evidence in support of the application for aegrotat or compassionate
consideration.
c Where the application for reconsideration seeks reconsideration of the assessment of the effect of illness or
injury or other exceptional circumstances beyond the student’s control, or consideration of any additional
evidence as to the circumstances and their effect, or both then:
(i)
If the review of evidence previously submitted did not confirm that the requirements of Regulation 12d
were met, and there is no new evidence, then the evidence shall be referred to a medically qualified
independent person or counselling adviser (‘Referee’) to determine that question. The Referee’s
decision will be final and conclusive.
(ii) If new evidence has been provided, then this evidence will be assessed in the same manner as in
Regulation 12d, with the proviso that if the evidence is still deemed to be insufficient then it will be
referred to a Referee to determine that question. The Referee’s decision will be final and conclusive.
(iii) If as a result of reconsideration of the evidence in 13c(i) or (ii) the aegrotat or compassionate
consideration application is considered to meet the requirements of 12d then the application for
aegrotat or compassionate consideration will proceed in accordance with regulation 12e and following.
d Where the application seeks reconsideration of the decision of the Course Director to approve or decline an
aegrotat or compassionate consideration grade, or the outcome of that decision, given that the requirements
of Regulation 12d have been met, then the application shall be referred to Senate or its representative for
review. Senate’s representative shall consider the decision of the Course Director taking into account the
reasoning for this decision, and any other factors to be taken into account in terms of Regulation 13, and
determine whether or not to grant the application. A decision of the representative of Senate will be final
and conclusive.
Tests
14 Where a percentage of the marks awarded for a course is allocated to a test, and a student is prevented by
temporary illness or injury or exceptional circumstances beyond their control from sitting the test, or consider
that their preparation for or performance in the test has been seriously impaired by any of those causes, then,
if the conditions in Regulations 12c to 12f (with the necessary changes) are complied with, the student may on
application and at the discretion of the Academic Head:
a be permitted to sit another written test
or
b receive a mark for the test based on the average of marks awarded for other coursework
or
c take a viva voce examination
or
d have the percentage of marks allocated to the test reallocated to the examination.

Named Doctorates
74
General Regulations – Named Doctorates
These Regulations apply to doctoral enrolments that commenced prior to 1 January 2022, except enrolments in the
Doctor of Philosophy and Higher Doctorates, and should be read in conjunction with the relevant degree regulations.
The ‘Department’ is the Department or School or other academic unit in which the candidate is registered, and the
‘Head of Department’ is the head of that academic unit.
Admission
1 Every candidate for a named-doctoral degree must have applied for admission and been admitted to the
University of Auckland.
Registration
2 a Every candidate for a named-doctoral degree must be registered by the Board of Graduate Studies.
b Registration is provisional for all candidates for the first 12 months of equivalent full-time study following the
Date of Registration as defined in Regulation 2.
c Application for registration must be made to the Head of Department, Division, School, Chair of a Board of
Studies or Director of the Research Centre or Institute (“the Head of Department”) in the discipline in which
the candidate is to be registered and must include, where appropriate to the composition of the doctoral
degree, a preliminary research proposal.
d The Head of Department will make a recommendation to the Faculty Associate Dean (Postgraduate) as to
whether the candidate:
(i)
meets the eligibility criteria and has the ability to follow the proposed programme of study
and
(ii) has submitted a satisfactory preliminary research proposal as stipulated by the Head of Department.
e Where the Head of Department is satisfied, this recommendation must include:
(i)
the proposed date of registration
(ii) nominations for supervisors
(iii confirmation that the School/Department accepts responsibility for making satisfactory supervision
arrangements and providing research resources and facilities over the whole enrolment for the degree
(iv) an appropriate set of goals for the provisional period of registration agreed to by both the candidate
and nominated main supervisor; these must include, but are not limited to, those goals prescribed
in the regulations for the relevant named doctorate and any standard goals required by the Board
of Graduate Studies such as attendance at induction events, English language screening, and the
satisfaction of academic integrity and health and safety requirements.
f Where an intending candidate is not resident in Auckland, the Head of Department must also provide the
Associate Dean (Postgraduate) and the Board of Graduate Studies with evidence that the candidate will
be provided with research resources and supervisory support at the location in which the research is to be
carried out.
g On receipt of the recommendation of the Head of Department, the Faculty Associate Dean (Postgraduate)
will make a recommendation to the Board of Graduate Studies as to the matters set out in Regulation 2d.
h On receipt of the recommendation of the Faculty Associate Dean (Postgraduate), the Board of Graduate
Studies will decide whether or not to register the candidate and, if so, the conditions that will apply to the
registration. The Board of Graduate Studies may call for any further information it considers relevant before
making its decision.
i Registration takes effect on the date (the “Date of Registration”) approved by the Board of Graduate Studies.
Where a candidate has already started supervised research on the doctoral topic, the Date of Registration
may, subject to approval by the Board of Graduate Studies, be backdated by not more than six months.
j The Board of Graduate Studies will appoint the supervisors for each candidate. The supervisors must be
actively involved in research in the candidate’s general field, and must either hold a doctoral degree or
be appropriately qualified and experienced. Persons who are themselves candidates for the same named
doctorate may not be appointed as supervisors, although they may be appointed as advisers.
k For each candidate the Board of Graduate Studies will appoint a suitably qualified main supervisor who takes
overall responsibility for the supervision of the candidate and for assistance in the provision of research
resources. The main supervisor must be a staff member of the University of Auckland.
l In addition, the Board of Graduate Studies will appoint for each candidate:
(i)
at least one suitably qualified co-supervisor

Named Doctorates
75
and/or
(ii) an advisory committee or adviser/s.
m Candidates wishing to present and defend a thesis in te reo Māori must, before applying to the Head
of Department to be registered, obtain the permission of the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Māori). When such
permission is granted, the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Māori) will make a recommendation in writing to the Board
of Graduate Studies as to:
(i)
whether the candidate has adequate fluency and literacy in te reo Māori in the subject area of the
thesis
and
(ii) the likelihood of being able to find appropriately qualified examiners for the thesis.
Reviews of Registration
3 a During provisional registration, a candidate must achieve the goals prescribed by the Board of Graduate
Studies and satisfy any other applicable programme requirements specified in the regulations for the
relevant named doctorate.
b Where a thesis proposal is required as a provisional goal, it should be submitted for approval to the
appropriate committee or subcommittee of the department, institute and/or faculty in which the candidate
is registered. The committee may accept the proposal, or indicate changes needed to the candidate
and supervisor(s) and request a resubmission, or it may decline the proposal. It will inform the Head of
Department of its decision.
c At the end of the provisional registration period, the candidate, the supervisor/s and the Head of Department
are to submit a formal report to the Board of Graduate Studies on the progress of the candidate. This report
may also be discussed by the appropriate postgraduate committee of the department, institute and/or
faculty in which the candidate is registered. The report should clearly state whether or not the progress of
the candidate has been satisfactory, whether or not any programme specific requirements for the period
have been satisfied, and whether or not the goals laid down for the provisional period of registration have
been achieved. The report should include a recommendation that the candidate’s registration be:
(i) confirmed
or
(ii) continued on a provisional basis for a period of three to six months
or
(iii) discontinued and the candidate recommended for enrolment in another programme, where a suitable
programme exists
or
(iv) terminated.
d At the end of each year of registration following the provisional period, the main supervisor, the candidate
and the Head of Department are to submit, through the Associate Dean (Postgraduate) of the faculty, a joint
report to the Board of Graduate Studies on the candidate’s progress. This report may also be discussed by
the appropriate postgraduate committee of the department, institute and/or faculty in which the candidate
is registered. As part of this report, the main supervisor and the Head of Department are to make one of the
following recommendations:
(i)
that the candidate’s registration be continued
or
(ii) that the candidate’s registration be continued subject to specified conditions
or
(iii) that the candidate’s registration be terminated.
e Where a recommendation is made under Regulation 3c(ii) or 3d(ii), the Head of Department will also
recommend to the Board of Graduate Studies any specific goals and/or conditions to be met by the
candidate and the time in which these are to be completed. At the end of this period the Head of Department
and main supervisor will advise the Board of Graduate Studies whether or not these requirements have been
met. Registration will be terminated if the specified conditions have not been fulfilled to the satisfaction of
the Board of Graduate Studies.
f No decision to terminate registration may be made by the Board of Graduate Studies unless the candidate
has been notified in writing and given reasonable opportunity to respond.
Changes to the Conditions of Registration
4 a The Head of Department may, after consultation with the candidate, make a written recommendation to the
Board of Graduate Studies via the Faculty Associate Dean (Postgraduate) for changes in the conditions of
registration for the candidate. After considering a recommendation from the Head of Department, the Board
2025 Calendar
Named Doctorates
76
of Graduate Studies may, after considering any submissions made by the candidate, change the conditions
of registration for any candidate.
b Where a resident candidate intends to be absent from the University in pursuit of their research for more
than two months, supervisors are to submit for approval by the Board of Graduate Studies, through the Head
of Department and before the candidate’s departure, suitable plans for the supervision of the candidate
during the period of absence.
c When necessary, the Head of Department will make a recommendation to the Board of Graduate Studies
regarding changes to the supervision of the candidate. This will normally be required when a supervisor is
granted leave, resigns or retires.
Whilst the Board of Graduate Studies will take into consideration the candidate’s views on any recommended
changes to supervision, it reserves the right to determine the appointment of supervisor/s according to the
availability of suitably qualified staff.
d When the Board of Graduate Studies is satisfied that there is sufficient reason, it may extend a candidate’s
submission date. Before approving an extension of submission time the Board of Graduate Studies will
require the candidate, the supervisor(s) and Head of Department to agree on the programme of supervision
and schedule of research considered necessary for submission by the new date proposed.
e Where a candidate is unable to continue with their research programme because of circumstances beyond
their control, the Board of Graduate Studies may suspend their registration for a specified period of time.
The conditions of Regulation 7g of the Statute for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2016 will apply.
f Enrolment and Programme Regulations regarding discontinuation apply to candidates for named doctorates.
g The Board of Graduate Studies may terminate the registration of any candidate who:
(i)
fails to enrol for any academic year corresponding to a year of registration
or
(ii) fails to make payment of any tuition fees related to the registration
or
(iii) applies to cease being registered
or
(iv) has not made satisfactory progress while under provisional registration
or
(v) has received an unsatisfactory annual report
or
(vi) has not submitted a required provisional year or annual report
or
(vii) has not met any conditions specified under Regulation 3e

International Students
The following notes are intended to be a general guide for international students wishing to be admitted to the
University of Auckland. Further information is available from the International Office or from the International
students section of the University website at auckland.ac.nz/international.
Admission
International students should apply for admission using the online Application for Admission. Intending applicants
should note the following general points:
1 All international students enrolling in an undergraduate programme must hold, as a minimum requirement, an
acceptable university entrance qualification.
2 All international students seeking admission to graduate or postgraduate programmes must hold, or expect to
hold before the start of the programme, a recognised first degree in a relevant discipline.
3 Applicants whose first language is not English are required to provide satisfactory evidence of their proficiency
in English. International applicants entering the University on the basis of NCEA or Cambridge Assessment
International Education (Cambridge International, formerly known as University of Cambridge International
Examinations (CIE)) taken in New Zealand, or International Baccalaureate (IB) taken in New Zealand, must
meet the standard literacy requirements for admission. International applicants who have taken Cambridge
International or IB outside of New Zealand must meet the standard admission requirements from these
qualifications but may also meet the standard literacy requirement through an alternative approved English test
as outlined in the minimum English Language proficiency requirements. International applicants entering the
University on the basis of qualifications other than NCEA, Cambridge International or IB taken in New Zealand
must meet a specified score in IELTS or an alternative approved English test, or must have completed and passed
the Foundation Certificate in English for Academic Purposes (FCertEAP), the English Pathway for Undergraduate
Studies (EPUS), the English Pathway for Postgraduate Studies (EPPS), or an approved alternative. The minimum
score required in IELTS for admission to an undergraduate programme at the University is an overall score
of 6.0 with no less than 5.5 on an individual band. The minimum score required in IELTS for admission to a
postgraduate programme at the University is an overall score of 6.5 with no less than 6.0 on an individual
band. Higher requirements may be imposed by faculties for entry to specified undergraduate and postgraduate
programmes.
Health and Travel Insurance
4 It is the responsibility of all international students to ensure that they have appropriate and current approved
health insurance for their period of study in New Zealand, and for the length of their student visa. Health and
travel insurance is a condition of enrolment, and as such, must be valid for the entire duration of study. A
student’s enrolment cannot continue in the event of their insurance cover being declined.
Student Visa
5 International students may commence online offshore study while applying for a visa. The majority of
international students must have a student visa before entering New Zealand. All students must have a student
visa or a Variation of Conditions, for the duration of their studies prior to entering New Zealand. For further
information, visit Immigration New Zealand’s website at at www.immigration.govt.nz.
a An international student is any student who is not a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand (includes
the Cook Islands, Tokelau and Niue) or Australia.
b Every international student must provide the following information to the University of Auckland:
(i)
photocopy of title page of passport and of current visa if entering New Zealand
(ii) current address and contact phone number(s). Upon arrival in Auckland, students must provide their
Auckland address and contact phone number(s)
(iii) full name and current address of an emergency contact/next of kin.
c Where a student does not provide the required contact details and/or evidence of a valid student visa either
prior to commencement of study onshore or before the visa information held on file at the University expires,
then, until that evidence is produced, the Council may:
(i)
withdraw the enrolment of that student from a course or courses, with no refund or credit of fees
and/or
(ii) decline to re-enrol the student
(iii) restrict or remove that student’s access to University services, including but not limited to the Student

Limitations Statute and Schedule
85
The Limitation of Entry Statute 1991
Pursuant to Section 255 of the Education and Training Act 2020 the Council of the University of Auckland hereby
makes the following Statute:
1 a This statute may be cited as The Limitation of Entry Statute 1991.
b This Statute came into force on 1 January 1991.
2 Where the Council is satisfied that it is necessary to do so because:
a students cannot be allocated places in appropriate lecture rooms or laboratories at times when they can
reasonably be expected to attend
or
b the number of teaching staff does not ensure all students expected to seek a place in a particular programme
or course can be adequately taught;
there shall be deemed to be an insufficiency of accommodation or of staff.
3 The maximum number of students that may be enrolled for any such programme or course shall be determined
by the Council from time to time and be published in a schedule to this Statute.
4 In determining such maximum number of students the Council may:
a prescribe academic standards to be achieved as a prerequisite for enrolment for any such programme or
course
and
b prescribe other criteria for selection of students to be permitted enrolment for any such programme or
course.
5 The Limitation of Entry Statute 1985 is hereby repealed.
Limitations Schedule 2025
The new Faculty of Arts and Education and the expanded Faculty of Engineering and Design were established on
1 January 2025. These regulations/schedules reflect the previous faculty names in existence in 2024. The information
relating to individual programmes and courses has not changed and is correct.
This Schedule is made under the provisions of Regulation 3 of the Limitation of Entry Statute 1991.
Limited-entry Programmes and Courses
Because of insufficient accommodation and restrictions on staffing there will be a limitation on the number of students
who can be enrolled in 2025 in the programmes and courses listed below.
Approved Limitations
1 Students must apply for a place in any limited entry programme. Unless otherwise specified in Closing Dates for
Admission, the closing date for Application for Admission is 8 December 2024 and for Enrolment is 26 February
2025. The closing date for Admission to Summer School is 1 December 2024 and for Enrolment is 1 January 2025.
2 Application for places in any limited-entry programmes and/or courses will be made online, or in person.
3 Applications received after the specified closing dates will be given reduced priority in consideration for a place
in a limited-entry programme and/or course.
4 Where the number of applicants for a place in a limited-entry programme or course exceeds the approved
number of available places, the faculty or department concerned will select students in accordance with criteria
that have been approved by the University Council.
5 Where a course is taught in both semesters, the Selection Committee will allocate students to Semester One or
Semester Two where numbers of applications for one semester exceed places available.
6 Selection criteria will be available from the faculty or department concerned for the information of students. In
general, selection will be based upon academic merit. In those cases where the scholastic record is insufficient,
e.g., Discretionary Entrance and Special Admission, other criteria such as the recommendation of the School
Principal or Adviser, or employment history, will be taken into account. Account will also be taken of the
University’s Equal Educational Opportunity objectives. Limitations on programmes and courses are listed below.

another faculty or faculties.
4 If a faculty does not offer a Waipapa Taumata Rau course then they will specify the Waipapa Taumata Rau course
that students must complete.
5 A student must enrol in and commence the required Waipapa Taumata Rau course in their first two semesters of
enrolment in their degree. The course may be a pre-requisite for other degree courses, and failure to complete
it may impact progression in their degree programme.
6 If a student does not complete the required Waipapa Taumata Rau course in their first two semesters of
enrolment, they must enrol in the course again in the next available semester or as advised by their faculty. A
