Exam Special Arrangements
The final date for applications for special arrangements for mid-year examinations is Thursday the 23rd of May.

If you require special arrangements for your examinations, and have not already discussed these with your Advisor, you will need to contact us as soon as possible so that your supports can be arranged in time.

NZ Sign Language Classes
Dates: Fridays - 12th July - 16th August 2013
Time: 12.00pm - 1.00pm
Location: Room 210, Level 2, James Hight Building
Tutor: Debra Jamieson
Cost: $60.00

Open to students and staff, attendees will learn basic phrases in NZSL, the finger-spelling alphabet, some university specific vocabulary, basic grammer, and information about Deaf culture. Debra has many years' experience teaching Deaf awareness and sign language. Her classes are a fun and enjoyable learning experience.

New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) is our third official language, the natural language of the Deaf Community and is a combination of hand shapes, facial expressions and body movements with its own language structure.

To register, please print off the course payment form; pay at the Student Services Centre; and email Nicola McDonald to let her know you have registered. If you are a staff member and your department is paying for you to attend, please refer to the Internal Charge information.

The class will only run if there are sufficient enrolments. Once the course is confirmed, fees will not be refunded.
