the Faculty Manager. They are usually accepted from International students returning home,
students leaving the country to take up a scholarship overseas (supporting documentation should
be provided), PhD and Master’s students, Māori students who have declared themselves as such
on the student records system who wish to attend the Toihuarewa Faculty graduation, students
facing exceptional circumstances, or students planning to complete their qualification over the
summer trimester.
