Pastoral Code for international students
We follow the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021.
As an education provider, we’re responsible for the welfare of our international students.
The Pastoral Care Code provides a framework to make sure international students are:
- well-informed
- safe
- looked after.
The Code isn’t about academic standards—it’s just about supporting and providing information for international students.
Visit the NZQA website for full details of what’s covered in the Code (PDF).
