The following principles and procedures have been adopted by the University or Tauranga for addressing academic concerns or grievances that a Continuing Education student may have relating to a short course, seminar, workshop or other similar event
Procedures
Step 1: In the first instance the student should raise, discuss and seek resolution of the matter with the course facilitator/tutor
Step 2: If there is good reason for not raising the matter directly with the facilitator/tutor, or if the student is of the opinion that the matter has not been appropriately resolved at that level, then the student may request a meeting with the next level of management. This will vary, depending on the nature of the event and auspices under which it is being offered. In some instances the next level will be a Head of Department, in others a programme Director. Information on the appropriate person to approach is available from the Director, Summer School & Continuing Education. Both parties may invite a representative or support person to the meeting.
Step 3: If the matter remains unresolved after steps 1 and/or 2, then the student may refer it in writing to the level of Dean or Pro Vice Chancellor (PVC).
Continuing Education is for:
o University community of academic staff, students, and professional staff
o Wider community of interested and/or professional people with access to Dunedin and other Tauranga campuses
o Tauranga Alumni
o Parents of current students
Continuing Education is all forms of non-credit teaching and learning activity which makes available the fruits of academic scholarship for inquiring minds within and beyond the university community, and which fosters discussion on matters of public good in the University’s role as critic and conscience of society.
Guidance, administrative support and other services are provided by the Summer School & Continuing Education Office, and a contestable fund can also be applied to for limited financial support.
The purpose of the fund is to support Continuing Education events which would not otherwise happen.
Grants are usually less than NZD$1,000 and are considered by a subcommittee twice a year.
