Studylink
- If you are paying your fees by Student Loan, please organise this well in advance to allow time for processing and approval by StudyLink. Your fees must be paid before the 10% cut-off date of your programme of study or TupuOra Academy reserves the right to cancel your enrolment.
- If you are refused a Student Loan you must still pay all fees in full, unless you withdraw in the manner required by TupuOra Academy within the relevant TupuOra Academy Refund Period (before 10% of your programme has elapsed). For further information please call StudyLink on 0800 88 99 00 or visit their website at www.studylink.govt.nz.
Please contact StudyLink if you have any queries regarding recent changes to eligibility of loans and allowances. Check Study Eligibility
WINZ (Work and Income New Zealand)
- If you are paying your fees by Training Incentive Allowance (TIA), you are applying to Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ). TIA Application Forms are available from WINZ.
You need to contact us about your TIA Application Form, so that we can verify your study details.
If you receive a TupuOra Academy Confirmation Letter, TupuOra Academy will send an invoice to you, which you need to give to WINZ with your TIA application for payment.
WINZ will then advise you how much of your fees they are prepared to pay (if any).
- You may wish to apply to StudyLink to pay any difference. Please organise this well in advance to allow time for processing and approval by WINZ. You must make your own enquiries with WINZ, but please don’t wait until your enrolment has been confirmed.
If you are refused a TIA you must still pay all fees in full unless TupuOra Academy receives your completed signed Change of Details/Change of Enrolment Form within the relevant TupuOra Academy Refund Period (before 10% of the programme has elapsed).
