How can we help you?

Fees are in New Zealand Dollars (NZD).

Your bank might charge currency transfer fees. 

You can pay with your credit or debit card. We accept Visa and Mastercard, but not AMEX. 

For our programmes, you may be eligible for a StudyLink loan for fees or FeesFree assistance - both of these options need to be arranged by you directly, via StudyLink of FeesFree. Check eligibility at feesfree.govt.nz and StudyLink. 

Enrolment Agreements must be accepted in the myUCO portal by the official course start date to avoid a late enrolment fee of $150. More information can be found here.

You can find the cost of each course or programme on the relevant page.

We do not currently have any scholarships specific to Tuihono UC, but depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible to apply for some of the University of Canterbury’s general scholarships, which you can learn more about here: https://www.canterbury.ac.nz/study/getting-started/scholarships

Courses and micro-credentials

If you've enrolled for a short course or micro-credential and your circumstances change, you'll be eligible for a refund up until the 7th day of the course. 

After this date, refunds will be available if your circumstances are exceptional, for example if you've experienced a serious medical event.

The last date to withdraw from your micro-credential will have been posted to your course page. Please check the course announcement for Key Dates, or contact your Learner Experience Advisor.
