SIT2LRN FAQs

All students are invited to attend a graduation ceremony.

If they decide not to attend, then:

• For those students that have completed a New Zealand qualification, Bachelor, Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma, Postgraduate Certificate, Postgraduate Diploma or Masters their certificate will be posted out to them along with their SIT final transcript.
• Students that have completed a National Certificate or National Diploma will be sent an NZQA application form along with their final transcript from SIT.

If you have already completed some unit standards in the programme that you are applying for, please contact your administrator who will assist you with this. Their contact details are on the programme page on Blackboard.

As a guideline, one credit equates to approximately 10 hours of study. For example, a 15-credit paper equates to 150 hours of study. Spread over a 17-week intake, the average study time per week is approximately 9 hours.

All papers selected within an intake must be completed within that intake unless a transfer is requested (see: "Can I transfer into another intake?").

Students should enrol in alternate intakes to avoid date overlaps.

If you need to study full-time to access loans and allowances please contact Studylink for guidance on the number of credits you need to take per intake (www.studylink.govt.nz).
