Selection for limited places

The main criteria for selection of students for available places in papers and programmes with limitations on enrolment shall be academic merit and suitability for the paper or programme. The following criteria have been deemed not to require special approval:

  1. Additional selection criteria and processes as outlined in programme regulations (which have previously been approved by Senate).
  2. Additional selection criteria falling under the standing approval provisions of clause 3(d) in the Limitation of Enrolment for Specific Papers and Programmes Procedure.
  3. Additional selection criteria which fall under suitability for the course, including:
    • Enrolment or intended enrolment in a type of programme where relevant (e.g. preference for students enrolled in a research programme for a limited Enrolment research methods paper)
    • Enrolment in specific relevant qualification(s) and/or major(s) (e.g. preference for Theatre Studies majors for a limited enrolment Theatre Studies paper)
    • Motivation and likelihood to pursue a career in a relevant profession for professional programmes
    • Additional skills relevant to success in a programme or paper (e.g. demonstrated poetry writing skills for a poetry writing paper).

Additional selection criteria for specific papers or programmes, as approved by the University Senate, are as follows:

OBGY 718 and 719 Timeliness of application (preference for earlier applications), in cases where academic merit and suitability for the course do not provide grounds for selecting between applicants
PGCertCPU Some preference is given to generalist doctors working in rural areas of New Zealand and the Pacific Islands due to the lack of ultrasound services in these communities. All participants must have access to an ultrasound machine in their clinical workplace. All participants must also have a current Medical Council registration.
MTchgLn Particularly strong applicants may be offered a place prior to application deadline
ANAT 335 Timeliness of application (preference for earlier applications)
