1 When students are offered a place in the study programmes for the Diploma of Teaching (ECE) and/or the Rangi Ruru Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care/New Zealand Certificate in Nanny Education (Level 5) qualifications, they will be informed of the requirements for fees payment, procedures for withdrawing from the qualification and the procedures for refunding of fees.
2 On acceptance of an offer of place in either qualification, a deposit of $250.00 shall be required. Students will have 7 days after the payment of this deposit in which to change their minds and receive a full refund.
3 If a student withdraws from the study programme within 8 days of the commencement of the study programme for any reason, full fees will be refunded to the student, less $25.00 (for Year 1 students). No refunds are available after 8 days following the commencement of the study programme.
4 Fees, (other than the deposit of $250.00 for Year 1 students) are not payable within the first 8 days following commencement of the study programme. Fees are then payable by the 20 th of the month. Alternatively, the fees payment can be split across the two semesters, by payments in February and July. * Refer to Rangi Ruru Girls’ School Terms of Trade regarding unpaid fees.
5 For any withdrawal after the 8th day of the commencement of the study programme, the fees are payable in full for the relevant semester.
6 Students must inform the Director in writing if they wish to withdraw or take leave from the study programme.
7 If a student has an unexplained absence for 14 days, and despite making every effort to contact the student, the college is unable to do so, the student’s enrolment will be terminated and the appropriate authorities notified in regards to student loans and allowances.
8 On withdrawal, the student is required to authorise release of fees from the Student Indemnification Trust Account. A form is available from the Director for this purpose and is forwarded to the Trust solicitor by the Director, on the student’s behalf. Where full fees have been received, an administration fee of $100.00 will be deducted from any fees given.
