COVID-19

The COVID-19 Protection Framework is in effect – all of Aotearoa New Zealand is currently at orange. Public health measures apply.

If you are unwell: stay at home, study remotely where possible, and contact your faculty office if you are concerned about any impact on your academic programme.

The Ministry of Health advises that masks should be worn in indoor public settings. Students must wear a mask during formal teaching and learning activities, including lectures. Spare masks are available if needed.
