Student Services - Administration

Students find part-time jobs themselves. However, there is plenty of advice available from the College as to where a student might look for positions.

Our College provides free assistance in CV preparation, covering letter and interview techniques. Our College has established friendly relationships with many enterprises and organisations, and recommendations can be made for graduates from our College.

International students who are enrolled in eligible qualifications (our Diploma programmes) may work up to 20 hours per week. Our Diploma students are able to work during the summer holidays and gain an up-to-12-month graduate job search visa after graduation. (For more information on your eligibility to gain a graduate job search visa, please visit www.nzis.govt.nz.)

You need to complete the Application for Graduation Form at the College Reception after you have completed your course. Certificates will take 2 weeks to process.

You must advise the College in writing and complete a Withdrawal Form which is available from the College Reception. However, fees are non-refundable after ten working days of the course start date. The NZCB Student Handbook contains full information on the enrolment, withdrawal, refund and transfer policies.

Inform the College, stating reasons and providing a photocopy of your flight ticket, and complete a Leave Application Form. You may also need to complete a subject/course start date change form if your travel is going to affect your intended start date of study.

It is important for you to inform the College about all changes in your situation to ensure that your records are updated with correct details.

Immigration New Zealand requires students to attend their courses at all times, as required, unless they have genuine reasons for their absence. Unexplained absences can result in student’s visa being cancelled and student ordered to return to their home country by Immigration New Zealand.

If it is urgent, please phone the College and leave a message at the Reception (Auckland Campus 09-8496668, Christchurch Campus 03-3796668). Otherwise, you should apply three days in advance for all forms of leave except sick leave. You need to provide a medical certificate if you cannot attend classes due to any medical condition.

You must complete a Leave Application Form. You are required to apply for leave at least THREE DAYS in advance of the desired leave, except for sick and emergency leave. The College normally has a 1-month holiday over the Christmas period.
