STEP 5: FEES PAYMENT

Timely payment of fees is expected prior to the semester start date.

To protect the fees made by students to the School, Public Trust’s service is used

(please refer to https://www.publictrust.co.nz/student-fee-protection/for-students/)

Once you accept our Offer of Place, you will receive a Public Trust form, for which you need to fill in and complete. Then you need to either:

1. Make a direct fee payment into Public Trust’s bank account using the details mentioned in the Public Trust form. Remember to include the public trust reference number, student’s first name and last name, so payments can be tracked easily.
2. Apply Student loan and allowances if you qualify StudyLink’s criteria.

Your fees will be paid directly to Public Trust from StudyLink when your student loan application is approved by StudyLink.

To apply or track your student loan’s status, please contact:

STEP 6: PUBLIC TRUST DOCUMENTATION

Student Loans and Allowances

If you have been living in New Zealand for at least three years and have held a residence class visa for three years, you can apply for student loans and allowances from the Ministry of Social Development to cover your tuition fees, programme-related costs and living expenses.

A student loan can help finance your study, but you must pay it back.

If you are studying full-time, you can get:

• compulsory tuition fees
• programme-related costs
• living costs.

A student allowance is a weekly payment that you do not have to pay back.
