What happens to my fees when I gain New Zealand residency?

Please provide evidence of your New Zealand residency status as soon as possible after residency is granted in order for your fees to be adjusted. Evidence must be provided no later than the end of the semester enrolment period or December of the current year (whichever is sooner). You will be charged international fees until this evidence is provided.

What fees are payable by New Zealand residents residing overseas?

If you hold a New Zealand resident class visa, you will pay domestic tuition fees and distance non-tuition fees if you study while residing overseas. Citizens and permanent residents of Australia will pay international tuition fees and distance non-tuition fees if you study while residing overseas.

What fees are payable by New Zealand citizens residing overseas?

New Zealand citizens pay domestic tuition fees and distance non-tuition fees even while residing overseas.
