Government Fees-Free

For information on Final Year Fees Free, for learners starting study in 2025 or later, please visit the Tertiary Education Commission fees free.  From 6 October 2025, you will need to visit Fees Free at Inland Revenue for information.

You can also click this link for information on the First Year Fees Free policy.

StudyLink

StudyLink may be able to help pay for your study through allowances and loans. Go to studylink.govt.nz to check your eligibility.

Student Loan

• A student loan helps to pay for your compulsory course fees, study materials (course-related costs) and living costs, but you have to pay it back.
• You should apply online for your loan as soon as possible at studylink.govt.nz. You also need to tell us when you enrol that you will be paying by Student Loan.
• If you are planning on applying for Final Year Fees Free through Inland Revenue, you must pay for your study fees up front. If you get Fees Free and you have a student loan, the Fees Free payment will reduce your loan balance.

Student Allowance

• A student allowance is a weekly payment that can help with your living expenses while you’re studying.
• The student allowance is similar to the student loan living costs but you don’t have to pay it back.

Support for StudyLink

• You can get support for StudyLink from any of the student advisers or support staff on all of our campuses and Regional Learning Centres.
• Alternatively you can contact StudyLink on 0800 88 99 00 or visit studylink.govt.nz

Training Incentive Allowance

• Students who have applied through the Ministry of Social Development for a Training Incentive Allowance must make sure their fees are paid before the programme starts. Please supply EIT with a letter from the Ministry of Social Development agreeing to pay fees.

Internet Banking

You can pay for your study by internet banking. This the preferred method of payment to EIT.

• Account name: Te Pukenga NZIST EIT 
• Bank account number: 03 0631 0007233 00
• Particulars: Student’s name or Student ID number if known
• Code: 4232
• Reference: FEES

Payment in Person (at an EIT enrolment counter)

• Complete your payment by EFTPOS. EIT does accept payment by cash but prefers EFTPOS or online banking.

Payment of Fees

Fees must be paid in full or arrangements made through the Student Loan Scheme, prior to the start of the programme or course. If fees are not paid in full by the due date, EIT may:

• Remove access to EIT services such as the Library and IT Services
• Remove the student from the programme or course
• Withhold academic results and eligibility to graduate
• Refer any outstanding fees to our debt collection agency to manage

Refund of Fees

Domestic Students

Application for a refund must be made in writing on the appropriate form. Where students have been required to enrol in the programme rather than individual courses, no refund will be given after 10% or one month (whichever is the lesser) from the start of the programme. In all cases any refund will be reduced by the amount of any non-refundable deposit, the cost of any textbooks or other course materials that have been provided to the student.

Under exceptional circumstances the Executive Dean may authorise variations from the rules set out above.

International Students

Please refer to the full international refund policy at www.eit.ac.nz/campus/international-students/policies/

Transfer Of Fees

New Zealand Citizens/Permanent Residents

• Fees cannot be transferred to another tertiary institution.
• Fees cannot be carried over from one year to another year. Sometimes fees can be transferred to another faculty/school or course, where this meets the requirements of the faculty(ies) involved.

International Students

Please refer to the full international refund policy at www.eit.ac.nz/campus/international-students/policies/

Enrolments at Two Institutions

If a student transfers from one institution to another, they will normally have to pay fees charged by each institution. Some students may receive a refund if they meet the EIT refund policy requirements.

Student Services Levy

This is a compulsory non-tuition fee that helps to fund quality student support services that support learning, such as counselling (including chaplaincy services), health services, financial support and advice, career guidance, student advocacy, sport, recreation and cultural events, and student representation. Students have a say on what the fee covers, and its value. Some programmes are exempt from the levy.

EIT has policies and systems designed to ensure all staff and students experience a positive and productive learning environment.

EIT provides and maintains an environment free from harassment, discrimination and objectionable behaviour.

Students are expected to behave respectfully and considerately towards all other students, staff, employers and co-workers with whom they engage.

The Academic Regulatory Framework for Quality Assurance sets out the rules, procedures, and systems by which the EIT staff and students operate. The Framework is an important document for all students and works with the EIT policies, procedures and guidelines in our quality management systems. It outlines the rights and responsibilities of staff and students as well as processes to ensure students are treated fairly in all aspects of their EIT experience. There are specific sections and policies related to:

• Assessment
• Complaints and Concerns
• Appeals, Refunds and Withdrawals
• Academic Integrity
• Unacceptable behaviour

Please refer to the Academic Regulatory Framework at www.eit.ac.nz/ about/corporate-information/academic-regulatory-framework/

EIT expects that all students and staff will act with academic integrity. EIT wants our programmes of study to be respected and valued, and we want to be sure that all those who gain an EIT qualification have personally reached the standards expected of that qualification. Breaches of academic integrity which include copying, misinterpretation of identity, cheating and plagiarism will be treated as serious.

Active participation in classes and/or online activities is directly linked to learning success. Students will gain most value from their learning experience if they take responsibility for their learning. EIT operates a secure computer system to support student learning. Username and passwords to this system must never be shared with others.

EIT values the student perspective and looks for opportunities to encourage student feedback. Informal feedback is welcomed through Have Your Say on our App/student portal at MyEIT

Policies and procedures for lodging a formal complaint are also available on this site. You can also access information through MyEIT.

When enrolling at EIT, students agree to comply with the Academic Regulations and all EIT policies on conduct and behaviour. It is the responsibility of each student to make themselves familiar with the Academic Regulatory Framework. There are several ways to learn more about the Academic Regulatory Framework and the processes it describes. You can access it at either eit.ac.nz, or MyEIT.

Staff at the Library and Learning Centres are happy to assist you.

Withdrawal from Courses

A student may withdraw from a course(s) within a programme at any time during the first 10% or one month (whichever is the lesser) of the course delivery period with no academic penalty by notifying the Institute of their intention to withdraw. The student will have no academic record for the course(s).

A student who is enrolled, but does not participate in any of the scheduled learning activities of a course during the first 10% or one month (whichever is the lesser) of the course delivery period may be withdrawn from the course by the Institute. The student will have no academic record for the course(s).

A student who has enrolled in a course and begun to participate in scheduled learning activities and then ceases participation, but does not initiate a formal withdrawal process or respond to communications from the Institute, including one formal letter to confirm their enrolment status, may be withdrawn from the course by the Institute.

The student will have to pay if they do not withdraw within the non-penalty period.

EIT campuses are divided into self-managed areas or zones during emergency conditions. Coloured maps of these zones are displayed in every building and classroom with their associated evacuation assembly areas. It is your responsibility while you are on campus to familiarise yourself with these areas and know what to do and where to go if an evacuation is necessary.

The zones are managed by staff specially appointed as building and floor wardens who are authorised to take control during emergencies. The wardens are identified by bright fluoro vests for easy recognition.

All staff are familiar with our emergency procedures. However, it is important that if you are the first person confronted by an emergency, that you initiate the first actions. These are summarised as follows:

Accident

• Isolate the victim and others from harm
• Ring the Ambulance – 111
• Ring the Emergency Switchboard – internal 777, or external 06 830 1777
• Apply first aid to the victim
• Report the incident to your tutor or an EIT staff member

Armed Offender – Lock Down

• Move to a safe location – do not put yourself at risk
• Ring the Police – 111
• Ring the Emergency Switchboard – internal 777, or external 06 830 1777
• Follow the lock down checklist signposted in RED on walls

Earthquake

• Drop – Cover – Hold
• Evacuate the building once it is safe to do so, stay out, expect aftershocks, move away from high rise buildings
• Ring Emergency Services to notify of fires or injuries – 111
• Listen to the radio for advice and information

Fire

• Activate fire alarm then evacuate the building
• Ring the Fire Service – 111
• Ring the Emergency Switchboard – internal 777, or external 06 830 1777

For more information on EIT Emergency Procedures, please visit: www.eit.ac.nz/working-at-eit/health-safety-wellbeing/

Evacuation Procedure

• Proceed in an orderly manner to the nearest exit – walk, don’t run
• Follow Building and Floor Wardens’ instructions
• Do not use lifts
• Go to your designated assembly areas
• Do not re-enter the buildings until the all clear is given

Smoke-Stop Doors

All self-closing doors to stairs and corridors are smoke-stop doors. They must not be held open objects
and must be left to close freely at all times. These doors are strategically located so that smoke and fumes in one area will be largely contained there, thus providing a relatively smoke free means of exit via the stairs on the opposite side.

Disabled Students

During an emergency or fire drill, students in multi-storey buildings who cannot evacuate independently will be placed with a ‘buddy’ or care giver in a safe location, usually near a stairway landing. The Fire Service will be notified immediately and will carry out a safe evacuation.

On your first day please inform your school/ lecturer if you require emergency evacuation assistance.

Emergency Lighting

The stairs, corridors and toilets are equipped with battery operated emergency lights that switch on at the time of an electrical power failure. This emergency lighting is effective for approximately 30 minutes. Wherever the electrical power supply is cut, staff members will direct you to vacate the building. Do not enter the building or proceed to the upper levels when emergency lighting conditions prevail.

Lifts

Lifts are installed in various buildings across our campuses for student and staff convenience. If you become trapped in a lift it is equipped with an emergency phone. Instructions on how to operate this phone are posted in the compartment. Do not attempt to use the lift during an emergency evacuation. When the fire alarms are triggered it automatically travels to the ground floor.
