Introduction
Contact courses are an opportunity for you to interact with other extramural students taking the same paper and to receive face-to-face tuition. They are designed as an integral part of your study programme and you should plan to attend if possible. Your contact course details will be e-mailed to you, along with an invitation to register for your contact courses (or a confirmation, if you have already registered).
Contact courses may be held at Massey’s Albany campus (located on Auckland's North Shore), Manawatu campus (located in Palmerston North), and Wellington campus, as well as at a Christchurch venue. Overseas students should only enrol in papers with compulsory contact course requirements if you are prepared to return to New Zealand.

Registering for a contact course
If you enrol in a paper with a "compulsory" or "absolutely compulsory" contact course, there is a requirement for you to attend and you will be sent information irrespective of whether or not you register. If you are unable to attend, you should contact the course coordinator to apply for an exemption before you enrol in the paper. It is essential when you are choosing your papers that there are no clashes of compulsory contact courses. The University’s preferred method of contact is via e-mail. Please ensure that your e-mail address is current.
If you enrol in a paper that has either a "voluntary" or "strongly recommended" contact course component, you need to register in order to get date and venue information. If you do not register no information will be sent.
Please note that a contact course may be cancelled if there are insufficient registrations, so please do register well in advance. This can be done by using any of following methods:
- Log into MyMassey and click the Online Enrolment link and then Contact courses from the Follow your progress menu.
- e-mailing contactcourse@massey.ac.nz
- contacting Massey Contact
Extramural students attending contact courses are welcome to make use of any of the on-campus Student Services provided.
