13 April - 27 April 29 June - 17 July 28 September - 9 October

LITERACY AND NUMERACY SKILLSA Literacy and Numeracy assessment is part of the preparation for all levels 1 to 3 programmes. This is a national requirement from the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC). This information gives your tutors information on what you already know to help them provide the support that you may need in your studies.

There are two assessments. The first assessment will take place within the first three weeks of the programme. The second will be a week or two before you finish the programme. This final assessment will show how you have improved with your Literacy and Numeracy skills.

There will always be a tutor to help you when doing the assessment. The most important thing to know about this assessment is that you can’t fail. You will merely get information on your Literacy and Numeracy skills. The result does not have an impact on any of your assessment marks in your course work.

FACILITIESFacilities include classroom, Pettigrew.Green Arena and a variety of off-site settings.

ASSESSMENTSUnit standards and EIT course assessments are on-going where tutors observe student work in

class, practical tasks, interaction and individual work. Participation is a requirement of all courses.

THE EXPERIENCE YOU NEED & THE SUPPORT TO SUCCEEDWhen you study at EIT you’ll get the kind of experiences that will help you gain the knowledge and skills to get ahead.

You’ll also be supported by lecturers and tutors who are here for you, within a learning environment where you are treated as an individual, not just a number. They’ll know your name and you’ll receive one-on-one attention to make sure you get the support to succeed.

Scholarships and GrantsScholarships and grants make life easier by helping to cover your fees, other costs and living expenses while you study. You don’t always need to be an academic high-flyer to qualify.

EIT has a long list of scholarships for which you can apply. So if you would like to get financial help with your study, take a look at our website to see what’s available. You can also take a look online at the givME database available at EIT. It lists every scholarship and grant available in New Zealand.

Student Services LevyThe Student Services Levy is a compulsory non-tuition fee that is charged to students enrolled at EIT. The levy is to contribute to the provision of quality student services that support learning. The funds received by EIT from the levy are ring-fenced, meaning they can only be spent on student services.

Student Loans and AllowancesStudyLink is a service of the Ministry of Social Development. Apply well before your programme begins (even if you haven't been accepted yet) so you'll be ready to get your payments when you need them most. Check out studylink.govt.nz or phone 0800 88 99 00. A Student Allowance is a weekly payment to help you with living expenses. It doesn't have to be paid back. A Student Loan is made up of three parts – compulsory fees, course-related costs and living costs. You have to pay these back.
