Massey sets student fees for 2012

Massey University's student fees for next year will ensure valuable services remain available to students while the University seeks to control students' costs as much as possible.

Tuition fees will increase by 4 per cent in 2012, in line with the increases announced by other universities.

The fees were agreed by the University Council at its September meeting and will be posted on the Massey website in time for the opening of 2012 enrolments on Monday.

The University Council also decided on changes to the student services levy, which will range from $121 to $516 next year (compared with $75-$325 this year) depending on the mode of learning and the number of papers students take. Distance students will pay less than internal students; full-time students will pay more than those taking fewer papers.

The levy increase reflects a decision by the University to ensure that student services that are valuable part of the student experience at Massey are continued.
