The Code of Practice for International Students requires all institutions to have fair and equitable internal grievance procedures for students. The Code provides a framework for service delivery by educational providers and their agents to international students. It sets out the minimum standards of advice and care that is expected of educational providers with respect to international students.The code applies to pastoral care and provision of information only, and not to academic standards.In the event of a dispute between an individual student and Taylors College, internal procedures are in place to facilitate the resolution of the dispute. A summary of these procedures follows.1. Code of conduct, attendance and discipline

Students are expected to abide by the terms and conditions of enrolment and the published rules and code of conduct of Taylors College. Disciplinary procedures will be applied in the event of a breach of these rules. All staff are expected to apply Taylors College’s policy and rules fairly and without favour, but if a student considers that this has not occurred, the student may refer the matter to a senior staff member. If dissatisfi ed with the decision, the student may refer the matter to the Principal for determination. Independent external mediation may also be sought if the matter cannot be resolved within the school.

2. Service and academic programme

In the event of a student complaint concerning the quality of the service or teaching provided by the school, the student will report the matter to a person in a position of authority within the school. The complaint may either be dealt with by that person, or referred to the Principal for resolution. The Principal will confer with the parties in dispute, and the decision of the Principal will be fi nal. This decision will be conveyed in writing to the parties. If the student remains dissatisfi ed with the outcome, he/she may seek independent external mediation.

3. Contractual and fi nancial issues

Matters relating to the interpretation of the application, or the payment or refund of money, are stated clearly in the brochure. Any queries relating to course fees and other charges payable to Taylors College (or refunds) will initially be dealt with by the Finance and Administration staff. If the student is dissatisfi ed with the decision, the matter will be referred to the Finance Director of Study Group for determination. If either the action taken or the outcome does not satisfy the student, he/she may write to the Managing Director, who will in turn convey a decision in writing to the student. If the student remains dissatisfi ed with the outcome, he/she may seek independent external mediation.

4. The Code of Practice for Pastoral Care of International Students

Taylors College has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the Minister of Education. Copies of the Code are available on request from this institution or from the New Zealand Ministry of Education website at: minedu.govt.nz/goto/international.

5. Health and travel insurance

Health Requirements: As of 30th July 2012 Immigration New Zealand made changes to Health Screening.

Foreign fee-paying students (International Students) are required to hold acceptable medical and travel insurance as a condition of their student visa. An acceptable insurance policy is one that complies with the insurance requirements of the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students and is acceptable to your education provider.

Insurance arranged by Taylors College or your own approved insurance policy must cover the length of your student visa rather than the length of your course. If your insurance policy is shorter than the length of your student visa you must extend your insurance policy. e.g. Your Taylors Foundation programme ends on 12 December 2014 and your student visa ends on 31 March 2015. Your insurance policy must cover you through to 31 March 2015.

If you do not comply with the requirement to hold acceptable insurance while in New Zealand, you may become liable for deportation.

Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If a student receives medical treatment during his/her stay, he/she may be liable for the full costs of the treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly-funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health, and can be viewed on their website at: moh.govt.nz.

The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but students may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at: acc.co.nz.

International students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand.

6. Immigration

Full details of visa and permit requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements are available through the New Zealand Immigration Service, and can be viewed on their website at: immigration.govt.nz.

7. New Zealand Qualifi cations Authority

Students may contact the New Zealand Qualifi cations Authority if they experience any diffi culties with the above procedures. The nearest offi ce of the Authority is at:

Level 13, 125 The Terrace Wellington, New Zealand P.O. Box 160, Wellington, New Zealand T: +64 4 802 3000 F: +64 4 802 3112 E: [email protected] W: nzqa.govt.nz
