Candidates must satisfy the admission requirements of the University.
(b)
The programme of study for each candidate must be approved by the Head of the School of Maori and Indigenous Studies and the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences.

(c)
At least 75 points must be in courses on Maori Society. A maximum of 45 points can be in courses on Maori Language.

The courses available for the Diploma are listed in the Schedule to these Regulations.

Note: These regulations took effect from 1 January 2011. A candidate enrolled before 2011 may complete under the 2010 regulations, providing they complete their course of study before 31 December 2013. Candidates may apply to the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences for such variation as the Dean may determine.

3.
Prerequisites

Prerequisites for all courses apply as listed in the Schedule to the Bachelor of Arts. However, prerequisites may be waived where this is appropriate to account for prior learning or experience. No credit is given towards the Diploma for such prior learning.

The Diploma will normally be studied part-time. Other than in exceptional circumstances approved by the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, the maximum elapsed time from first enrolment will be six years.

5.
Repeating of Courses

Courses which have been failed may be repeated.

6.
Transfer of Earlier Credit

With the approval of the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences, courses listed in the Schedule to the Diploma, or courses deemed to be equivalent, which have not already been credited to another qualification may be credited to the Diploma, provided that they satisfy the other regulations of the Diploma. Such courses will not then be available to the Bachelor of Arts at a later date except as permitted under Regulation 7.

7.
Transfer of Credit to Bachelor of Arts

With the approval of the Dean of Humanities and Social Sciences:

(a)
any courses completed towards the Diploma, less than the completed qualification (note that the Diploma is considered completed when the student graduates with the Diploma), may be credited towards a Bachelor of Arts degree provided that enrolment in the Diploma then lapses;
(b)
a maximum of 30 points (comprised of 15 points at 100-level and 15 points at 200-level) from a completed Diploma may be cross-credited towards a Bachelor of Arts degree;
(c)
transfer credits from an incomplete Diploma to another degree of the University will be subject to the Regulations of that degree.
