These regulations apply to candidates beginning their studies in 2024. Candidates who first enrolled in a qualification prior to 2024 are eligible to complete that qualification either under the regulations which applied at the time of first enrolment or the regulations which apply at the time of re-enrolment. Candidates who are resuming their studies for a qualification after an extended absence are advised to consult the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the relevant Division or the Dean of the Faculty of Māori and Indigenous Studies concerned at the time of re-enrolment regarding the requirements for completion. However, where there have been significant changes in the structure of a qualification or content of the major or specified programme during the candidate's absence, the Pro Vice-Chancellor of the relevant Division or the Dean of the Faculty of Māori and Indigenous Studies may prescribe a specific programme of study which will be deemed to satisfy the requirements for completion of the qualification.
