Policies - Terms & Conditions.
Health, Travel and Fee Insurance
As a condition of enrolment you must have insurance covering medical and travel costs, and you must maintain this cover for the duration of your study. For your convenience, Cornell has negotiated a comprehensive insurance policy for its students through Interglobal Insurance. The policy is especially designed to meet the needs of international students, and covers you against medical and hospital bills, loss of your belongings, loss or delays to baggage while travelling and personal liability. The cost of this policy will be added to your account each year unless you provide us with details of alternative cover. In addition, this policy provides free fee-insurance that covers you in case Cornell is unable to continue teaching you, or if you need to return home because of serious illness.
Young Students
Cornell is not able to accept students aged 13 or under. It is a condition of enrolment for students aged between 14 and 17 that the parents appoint a responsible adult to take overall responsibility for the student, and to be a point of contact between Cornell, the parents and the student the institute can assist with this process. As well, students under 18 must live only in an approved home stay.
Providing Your Details
It is a condition of enrolment that you provide us with your full name, your address and telephone number while in New Zealand (and you must tell us whenever these change), a copy of your passport personal details page and your immigration permit, and the name and current address of an emergency contact (for students under 18 this must be your parents). This information will be held securely, but will be passed on to government agencies when required by legislation.
Fee Protection Insurance
To comply with the New Zealand Education Act 1989 (section 263A) the Institute has established an Independent Trust Account (ITA). This account, combined with the fee protection insurance is designed to protect students and their fees, the integrity of the Institute, and the reputation of the New Zealand education sector.
