Enrolment process for International students
All international students must enrol in person. International students have special compliance requirements that must be satisfied prior to gaining an enrolment offer.
International enrolment takes place at the Central Library the week before lectures start in February. To help avoid queues different sessions have been scheduled based on your Family names. Please make sure you plan your arrival into New Zealand in time to attend the correct session.

What to expect on the day
The Orientation programme will help and support you through the enrolment process, and provide important information to help you adjust to life as a student at UC.
It can take a long time to enrol and you are likely to have to stand in queues. (The university has to check every student's passport and insurance certificate to meet legal requirements).
To help make this process as efficient and enjoyable as possible we recommend you:
- Have a decent breakfast before you come.
- Bring a book/magazine.
- Decide what courses you want to study.
- Check you have everything you need.
