In submitting my Admission Application and my Declaration I agree to the following Admission Application Terms and Conditions.

1.0 Process for Studying at Massey University

1.1 I understand that I will not be able to study at Massey University until I am enrolled and I will not be enrolled at Massey University until I have received and accepted, in the manner prescribed by Massey University:

until such time (if any) that Massey University issues me with a written Confirmation of Enrolment.

2.0 General

2.1 I acknowledge that I alone decided to apply for the qualification stated on my Admission Application and I am not relying on any advice from Massey University that I will be admitted to a qualification or that a qualification is suitable for any purpose unless I received that advice in writing directly from Massey University and not from any recruitment consultant/agent.

2.2 I agree to supply all further information required by Massey University relevant to my proposed study at Massey University promptly, including, but not limited to, proof of my identity and citizenship.

2.3 Some qualification of study have particular entry requirements.

I also agree to undertake any medical tests prescribed by Massey University (if any) in respect of my chosen qualification.

2.4 I acknowledge that liability for any failure by Massey University is excluded where that failure has been caused by circumstances beyond control of Massey University.

2.5 In addition to these Terms and Conditions other terms and conditions of my enrolment at Massey University will be specified or referred to in:

b. any Acceptance of an Offer of Place in a qualification if I accept it;

c. my Enrolment Application (if any),

d. any Offer of Enrolment and Acceptance of the Offer of Enrolment,

e. any written Confirmation of Enrolment issued to me by Massey University,

but nothing else will be incorporated into the agreement between us.

2.6 I agree that if I want to study towards a qualification different to that listed in my Admission Application then I must submit a new Admission Application for the qualification that I wish to study.

2.7 I acknowledge that my submission of my Admission Application does not mean that Massey University will still offer the qualification I want to study towards when I want to study it.

2.8 I understand that, except as required by the Education and Training Act 2020, accreditations for qualifications may change and there is no warranty by Massey University that any particular accreditation will be attained or retained.

2.9 Before submitting my Admission Application I have received clear and sufficient information to enable me to make an informed choice to submit my Admission Application to study at Massey University towards the qualification specified in my Admission Application.

I acknowledge that I have the right to access and seek correction of personal information about me (subject to exceptions in the Privacy Act 2020).

8.0 Studying a Massey University Qualification from Overseas

8.1 I acknowledge that if my Admission Application is for a Massey University qualification that I want to study while I am outside New Zealand (other than in a university student exchange arrangement) and if that qualification requires my attendance in person at block courses or qualification requirements in a country other than in New Zealand, then:

a. I acknowledge that Massey University, and not any other provider of education or education services, makes the decision as to whether or not I am admitted to study the qualification at Massey University although I acknowledge that I may also need to be admitted and enrolled with another provider specified by Massey University outside New Zealand in order to access the site for delivery of the qualification and education services (and each of them);

b. I agree that Massey University is authorised by me to share all information about me and to obtain information about me from any provider involved in delivery of the qualification and delivery of services to me (and each of them). I will do all things required by Massey University for Massey University to collect, store, use and disclose information about me for purposes related to my admission, enrolment and study required by the laws in the country where I will attend in person block courses or qualification requirements;

c. I agree that the laws of New Zealand apply exclusively to any dispute between me and Massey University except I agree that any decision made in New Zealand is enforceable against me wherever I live in the World. I also acknowledge that I am required to comply with the laws of the country where I attend block courses or qualification requirements.

9.0 Emergency Contact/Next of Kin

9.1 Massey University normally communicates directly with its students regarding their academic studies, wellbeing, attendance and grades. In some circumstances, when we have serious concerns about a student’s heath and/or wellbeing, we may contact their nominated emergency contact.

In all cases, contacting an emergency contact is done with the student’s best interest in mind and is aimed at engaging a student’s personal support networks to support their wellbeing and safety.

In most circumstances, we will agree this with a student in the first instance. Examples of where we might proactively contact your nominee include:

  • if we are unable, following repeated attempts, to contact you through your nominated email and/or phone number
  • in an emergency or critical incident situation or if our concerns about your engagement, academic progress, behaviour, safety, security, or wellbeing (or the safety, security, or wellbeing of others) are sufficiently serious to warrant it.
