Enrolment Process

If you have attended Waiariki in the past, we will have certain information already in our records. Please phone or visit your nearest campus to obtain a Returning Student Enrolment Form.

The enrolment process for international students is different. Please contact the International Centre for a copy of our International Prospectus and more information or assistance.

As some places are limited, please complete your application and enrolment process as early as possible. All qualifications are subject to sufficient enrolments and subject to approvals pending.

If you have any questions or need assistance with the Application and Enrolment Form, feel free to call us on 0800 924 274 and an advisor will assist you.

Once you have submitted your Application and Enrolment Form, you are required to notify Waiariki as soon as possible if any information changes such as your name, address and contact details or programme of study.

Fees include:
