The Free Fees scheme is similar to previous years with the exception of a few changes. The terms are outlined below:

  • Tuition is free for the first year of study in 2010 at Waiariki Institute of Technology (all campuses) for school leavers who have left school any time during 2009;
  • Courses must be 12 or more weeks in duration;
  • Full-time or part-time courses are included;
  • Courses must be Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) funded;
  • Two qualifications are exempt from free fees: Bachelor of Nursing, and Certificate in Adventure Tourism;
  • Students will be required to pay the full fees to Waiariki upon enrolment, whether by Studylink student loan (which is interest free) or cash; and
  • Upon successful completion (i.e., a “C” pass or better per course), Waiariki will repay the Studylink student loan or refund the student if they paid cash. For example, if the student received a “C” pass or better in seven of the eight courses they enrolled into, Waiariki will repay for the seven courses but not the eighth.
