UNITEC Rescinded Policy and Procedure

 

Policies, procedures and regulations at Manukau Institute of Technology and Unitec (MITU) support and enable our kaupapa – our purpose, aspirations and values. They make sure we all work under the same guiding principles so that MITU operates ethically, effectively and efficiently.

MITU policies, procedures and regulations are intended to be consistent with relevant New Zealand legislation, external-regulatory, standard setting and funding body requirements. When considering the application of MITU policies, procedures and regulations the following order of precedence applies:

  • New Zealand legislation;
  • MITU statutes;
  • Student Regulations;
  • Programme regulations; and
  • MITU/UNITEC policies, procedures, and processes.

 

MITU Policy, Procedure and Regulations

The policies, procedures and regulations on this page guide our organisation as a single provider.

There are two types, each denoted with a prefix that identifies them as either newly approved joint MITU policy (prefix: MITU) or those existing Unitec policy and procedure (prefix: UNITEC) that will continue to apply to Unitec programmes during this transition period.

There is also a folder that contains the recently replaced policy and procedure which are being retained here for information and for any historic enquiry. These are each labelled as RESCINDED.

The policy, procedure and regulations documents are grouped under headings that indicate their focus. These headings are noted in the left-hand panel as links to the folders that house the documents. The headings are also noted below with the list of documents included under each. The headings below are also linked to the folders that house the documents.
