Course Based Fees Separate Independent Activity charges are set by individual departments for specific courses of study. The Waikato Polytechnic Council determines annually the fee to be charged for the services provided to students. In September 2000, The Waikato Polytechnic students voted in favour of compulsory membership of The Waikato Polytechnic Students Association. This means a separate Students Association fee will be levied in the year 2001. The fee, which will be in addition to the institution s tuition fees has not yet been set by the Student Association.
Some departments have specific external exam fees.
These include exams such as the Nursing State Finals. Fees are collected by the department on behalf of the external examining bodies. Some students may be liable for New Zealand Qualification Authority fees for registration with the National Qualifications Framework, examination, assessment and certification. It is the student s responsibility to meet closing dates and costs for any NZQA requirements for a programme. Information is available in the Academic Registry from the NZQA Liaison person.
