The Education Code of Practice 2021

It is our primary concern and responsibility to look after our international students. OPAIC has agreed to observe and be bound by The Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021, as published by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority. Copies of the Code are available from the NZQA website.

Student Rights and Responsibilities 

We have committed to providing you, our staff and visitors with an enjoyable, safe and secure environment. All students are guided by principles of openness, fairness and respect. They should engage in the activities of learning in a manner that strives for excellence. Rights and responsibilities apply to all students and act as a guide to OPAIC policies and practices. If you have any queries, contact the Student Success team.
