FEES PROTECTION
The New Zealand Government requires all Private Training Establishments registered with the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) to protect all student fees paid to them.
We have appointed the Public Trust to manage this obligation, and use their Fee Protect service. Public Trust is a government owned Trustee Company that has been in existence for over 135 years, and all fees are held in Public Trust's Common Fund. Capital and interest in the Common Fund are guaranteed by the New Zealand Government.
Accordingly, student fees are deposited into a trust account at Public Trust and paid to Alphacrucis College over the duration of their study in accordance with an agreed payments schedule. This ensures you receive a refund of the fees (or portion of fees) in the unlikely event that Alphacrucis College is unable to complete the course, for example due to closure, insolvency, or loss of NZQA accreditation.
For more information visit Public Trust’s website or contact Public Trust on 0800 494 733.
Your fees are protected while you study at Alphacrucis College New Zealand.
ACNZ maintains fee protection arrangements to ensure that student fees are safeguarded in accordance with New Zealand tertiary education requirements. ACNZ has a dedicated Student Fee Trust and Protection Policy that governs how student fees are held and protected.
What does fee protection mean?
Fee protection helps ensure that:
-
Student fees are protected if a programme cannot be delivered.
-
Eligible refunds are processed according to ACNZ policies.
-
Students receive clear information about their rights and entitlements.
