Transferring or Withdrawing

Have your plans changed? Here is information on how to withdraw, transfer or change your enrolment.

To be eligible for a refund and to have your Academic Record amended a withdrawal application must be received in writing. You can complete a withdrawal application form (see below) and return it or you can withdraw formally by sending an email to enrolments@weltec.ac.nz. State the programme and include your full name and student ID in the email.

Refunds will be made under the following circumstances: 

1. If WelTec cancels a programme any fees paid will be refunded in full.
2. If your written application to withdraw is received before course start or within the approved refund period (see table below) WelTec will refund your fees. 
3. If your withdrawal application is received after the approved refund period no refund will be paid except in exceptional circumstances. In such cases, you must complete an Exceptional Circumstances Application Form and provide documentary evidence of the exceptional circumstances. Generally, exceptional circumstances are events outside your control such as illness, accident, or an unexpected change in circumstances. A refund or transfer of fees may be considered.

Trimester and refund dates

Withdrawals and refund dates apply to courses, not programmes. Course details are on your Enrolment Contract.

If you have completed between 10% and 75% of course duration and choose to withdraw your fees will not be refunded; you will receive a withdrawn result on your academic record.

Unpaid Fees

1. If you withdraw in writing during the refund period the invoice will be withdrawn.
2. If you withdraw after the refund period fees must still be paid. Normal debt collection processes will be followed
3. If you do not withdraw formally you are liable to pay fees, even if you do not attend classes.
