ACCOMMODATION
Looking for a place to live while you study? There are plenty of options – from renting
a room in an off-campus flat to on-campus rental apartments and homestays.
You’ll want to organise your accommodation prior to your arrival in New Zealand.
If you’re an international student under the age of 18, you may live with a parent(s),
a designated caregiver, or an approved homestay family. If you’re 18 and over you
can choose a family homestay, shared-living homestay or arrange for your own
accommodation.

co.nz for more information. For most international students, living with
a local family is a great way to settle into
a new country. Unitec has partnered with
Host Families NZ for homestay services so
that students can experience living a New
Zealand lifestyle. This includes two meals
on weekdays and three on weekends.
As per the code of practice, students
under the age of 18 would need to be in an
approved homestay facility or live with a
guardian or designated caregiver in NZ.
Here are the costs:
• Placement Fee: $235
• Admin Fee: $150
• Airport Pick- up: $100 (one-way)

CODE OF
PRACTICE
Prioritising the well-being & care
of our international students
We have an important responsibility to
ensure that all international students that
come to study with us are well-informed,
safe, and properly cared for – and we take
this responsibility seriously.
Unitec is bound by the Education (Pastoral
Care of International Students) Code
of Practice 2016, as set out by the New
Zealand Ministry of Education. The Code
of Practice sets out minimum standards of
advice and care that you can expect from
us while you’re studying in New Zealand.

5UNITEC’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE OF PRACTICE
If you have concerns about your experience at Unitec, the code provides a procedure you
can follow for confidential advice or to lay a complaint.
The first step is to try and resolve any issue by using Unitec’s internal student complaints
process. If your complaint isn’t resolved, you can take your complaint to one of the
following agencies:

6INSURANCE
AND VISA
GETTING MEDICAL
AND TRAVEL
INSURANCE
All international students who are studying a
Unitec programme that is two weeks or more
in duration are required to have medical and
travel insurance that is Unitec approved. The
insurance needs to cover travel to and from
New Zealand, and the complete enrolment
period, until the expiry of your student visa.
This means your insurance should begin from
the day you depart your home country until
your final visa expiry date.

7YOUR VISA
REQUIREMENTS
As an international student, it’s your primary responsibility to hold an appropriate
visa to maintain the lawful status to study and live in New Zealand.
It’s important you apply for your student visa as soon as possible, as the
application process can take 1-2 months due to Covid-19. Once you have a
valid student visa to study in New Zealand, you’ll need to upload a copy to your
Enrolment Portal.
If you don’t have a valid student visa, or don’t upload one, you won’t be able to
study at Unitec. New Zealand Immigration require Unitec to comply with their
rules and report on students failing to provide the above.
For more information on student visas, contact our Visa team by sending an email
to studentvisa@unitec.ac.nz. In some cases, you may need to speak with
Immigration NZ directly.

than most other industries. Whether you choose

accounting), our programmes are designed to ensure
you meet the academic requirements needed.
