Sections of this Handbook are relevant for students
who are on Campus rather than studying online.
Certain sections may not be relevant for some
students as their course progresses.
Remember that English goes on outside the
classroom as well, so for those of you in Auckland or
Wellington, make the most of your stay. Use every
opportunity to read, write, listen and speak in English
as this will undoubtedly make your learning at a
tertiary level easier and more enjoyable. I strongly
encourage you to make the campus an English-only Yours sincerely
