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.
Progress with your form can be saved, the information does not have to be completed and submitted in one sitting.
Step 2: Acceptance
If your application is successful we will send you:
- a conditional offer of place letter
- an invoice for fees
Step 3: Student Visa
When we receive payment of your fees, we will send you a receipt. 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.
To apply for your Student Visa through the Immigration New Zealand website you will need to:
- complete the visa application form
- provide evidence of financial support
- pay the Student Visa application fee.
- Your passport
- the offer of place letter and receipt for fees paid issued by the school
NB. If a course of study is three months or less a Visitor’s 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 although the school reserves the right to check this policy complies with New Zealand standards.
