GETTING HERE
Getting to and from the MIT Manukau campus is easy and convenient. Situated at Hayman Park on the
corner of Manukau Station Road and Davies Avenue (near the well-known landmarks of Westfield
Manukau shopping centre and Rainbow’s End), MIT Manukau can be reached by all major transport routes.
The Manukau train station is directly underneath the campus building, so students, staff and visitors can
travel by rail straight to the front door. The new Manukau bus station and parking are also available
nearby.

Using the learning spaces
When you are in the learning spaces please be
aware of the following:
     When moving through the learning spaces,
      please be considerate and not disturb classes
      that are being taught.
     Develop an ‘open plan voice’. You don’t have
      to whisper, but avoid loud conversations and
      shouting.
     During class your mobile phone must be
      switched off. Whilst in the building at all
      other times try to answer your phone quickly
      and leave your mobile on silent/vibration.
      The noise of ringing phones can be disturbing
      for those in the immediate vicinity.
     To recharge your devices there are power
      sockets located in the desks in the enclosed
      spaces. Please be mindful that you don’t
      create a potential tripping hazard.
     If you like to listen to music or watch video
      content online, use headphones.
     Ensure the learning space is left tidy, ready
      for the next class. Please dispose of your
      rubbish using the bins provided.
     No food or drinks other than closed top
      water bottles are allowed in learning spaces.
     It is important not to walk through classes
      when they are taking place, use an
      alternative path to the toilets.

Using the social spaces
When you are in the social spaces please be
aware of the following:
     You will find power sockets in the floor boxes
      under or adjacent to the furniture. Please be
      mindful that you don’t create a potential
      tripping hazard.

student misconduct will be addressed according
to a clear and consistent set of procedures. It is
expected that no student will:
   commit any criminal offence on campus
   possess or consume alcohol, drugs or any
    mind altering substance on campus, whether
    during class hours or between classes. This
    includes field trips and work experience
    behave in a disorderly, reckless, offensive or
    obscene manner
   harass or intimidate any student or member
    of staff
   smoke in any building or designated non-
    smoking area
   conduct themselves dishonestly.
If you have been involved in a student
misconduct incident, you have the right to lay a
complaint without being subjected to any
intimidation, harassment, threat or vengeful
activity from the accused party.
If you are accused of misconduct you have the
right to be treated fairly, to be informed of
allegations made against you, to respond before
a disciplinary decision is reached and to engage
student representation.
The complete Student Misconduct policy
including a full breakdown of offences,
procedures, penalties and the appeals process is
