Students will be charged a late fee if their in person enrolment is not completed by the first day of classes at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand ($200NZD). Students must do an "Application to Enrol" on line (instructions will be in the accept letter from UC, NZ) and finalized in person during orientation in New Zealand. If the date is missed by the student, the late enrolment fee will be the student's responsibility.
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.
Social Work Program:
Social work majors can participate in the social work program during the spring semester only which would include SWO internship placement.
