We welcome enquiries for enrolment
Follow the three steps below to start your education at Nelson College:
Step 1 – Application
Follow the ‘online enrolment form’ link to start your enrolment process now.
Step 2: Acceptance
If your application is successful we will send you:
- a conditional offer of place
- an invoice for fees
Step 3: Student Visa
When we receive payment of your fees, we will send you a receipt for payment of fees. You then need to apply for a Student Visa to study at Nelson College; this application must be accompanied by our conditional offer of place letter and fees receipt. You will also need to provide proof of financial support and a return air ticket.
Apply for your Student Visa through your nearest Immigration New Zealand Office.
You will need:
- A completed application for Student Visa form (with a passport photo)
- A completed financial undertaking form or provide evidence of funds held in the name of the student of $400 per month ie. $4,800 per year.
- The Student Visa application fee.
- Your passport or Certificate of Identity.
- The offer of place form and receipt for fees paid issued by the school
- Two character references if under 17 years of age or a local police clearance if 17 or over.
NB If a course of study is three months or less a Visitors Visa may be sufficient. Please check with the school first.
Step 4: Medical Insurance Cover
Medical Insurance is compulsory. Nelson College will organise this through UniCare, with whom we hold a Master Policy. This policy has additional cover for protection of fees. Your policy must be arranged before you leave your home country. You may arrange your own Medical Insurance.
