From: Laura
Dear Victoria University of Wellington,
I am writing to request information under the Official Information Act 1982.
A person originally studied in VUW as an international student , and later lodged a refugee/protection claim in New Zealand. When determining whether his/her tuition fees can be charged at the domestic rate, which date is usually used as the recognition/effective date: the date they expressed an intention to apply, the date the refugee/protection claim was lodged, or the course start date?
Yours faithfully,
Laura
