Credits:

Students must study a minimum of three or four courses. Students are required to take a full course load (3-4 courses per semester). The university is only partially semesterized. Some courses run first semester, some second semester, and others are full year courses only. Courses also have different point values for credit.

Curriculum:

Participants in the Brockport/University of Canterbury Program will select (prior to departure) courses available to study abroad students at the University of Canterbury. All instruction in the Brockport/University of Canterbury Program is by the University of Canterbury faculty.

Participants in the Brockport/University of Canterbury Program are examined in the same manner (and to the same standard) as their New Zealand counterparts and classmates. The majority of courses in which they will enroll are examined formally at the end of the semester and in order to be awarded the credit, participants must take-and pass-the examination at the end of the study period in question.

The University of Canterbury method of assessment is also distinctive. It has a system of internal assessment in which courses are assessed during the year. This supplements the end-of-year examinations. It provides feedback on performance, which is an essential part of successful university study.
