Outstanding Fees
All fees are due to be paid in full by the first day teaching starts. Section 6.5.2 of the Academic Statute states that programme materials and other items will be not available to students owing any fees to UCOL. Students who have not paid all of their fees will not be eligible to receive credits or awards (i.e. not be eligible to graduate). In other words, if you have outstanding library fines, or other debts with UCOL, you place your ability to graduate at risk.
Academic Statute
Off-Campus Learning
At times your lecturer may wish to take the class to an exhibition or workshop that will be beneficial to your learning and creative development.
UCOL has systems in place to ensure your safety and welfare.
Any documentation related to the safety of the off-campus activity will be forwarded to you prior to the event.
Student Learning Off-Campus Policy Student Learning Off-Campus Procedure
Off-Site Practical Work-Based or Clinical Components Procedure Computer Suites
The computer facilities provided by UCOL are available to every enrolled student. Students who enrol in programmes that require the use of computers are provided with a computer account at the time of enrolment and they will receive an account
notification containing their log-on name, password and email address at the beginning of the course.
Students on programmes for which use of a computer is not a requirement can also obtain an account by applying in person to the Student Resource Centre. Generally the application will take a day to process. When it is processed you will receive a letter containing your user name and password and your internal and external e-mail address. Your password is the key to your account. Never share your login and password details with anyone else. Anyone who knows your password can log on and use your e-mail, access your work or surf the net at your expense.

Computer Use Policy (currently under review)
Printing and Photocopying
Printers are usually located in the computer labs and/or student studios. When you log onto a computer you will automatically be connected to the nearest printer.
There is a charge for all printing and photocopying. When you print your job is sent to a printer account program which checks that your account is in credit. You can delete your print jobs from the queue before they print without charge. Once the job has left the print queue it will be charged – turning off the printer will not stop this and there is no mechanism for a refund.
Black and white Colour
A4 6 cents per side 15 cents per side
A3 8 cents per side 20 cents per side
If your account is $0.00 or shows a negative balance the system stops you from printing. You can also check your balance on the intranet. To put your account into credit you can make payments at either Hub Central or the Student Resource Centre. You should also report any problems through them.
Some papers include an initial credit as part of your fees. If you are unsure of this, ask your lecturer.
Photocopier/printers are operated from your student ID card. The cost of the copiers is deducted from your printer account. Again, you will only be able to copy whilst your account is in credit.
UCOL Wireless Network
UCOL provides a wireless network (WiFi) for use by the public, students and staff on the Palmerston North campus.
Public access is limited to our public web sites. Students and staff have two types of access:

Internet access. Instructions are available at http://connect.ucol.ac.nz.
When using the UCOL WiFi network, the same conditions of use and restrictions apply as when using a UCOL computer and the UCOL network.

You must be able to produce your ID card at all times, be considerate of others and abide by the rules for student studio use – including keeping noise to a minimum.
All users of UCOL computing and network facilities are expected to act responsibly and to respect the rights of others. If you are found using the computers or internet for illegal purposes, accessing or forwarding offensive material or emails, submitting another person’s work as your own, or involving yourself in any other unacceptable use, you may have your log-on removed or be subject to other disciplinary actions.
Staff Studios
Staff may be contacted by ringing them on the telephone located outside their staff studio. A list of their extension numbers is located next to the phone. Please do not knock on the door to the staff studio without first contacting the staff member by phone. Recognition of Prior Learning
