Student declaration

I declare that while I am a student of the University of Auckland, I will have an approved alternative insurance policy for the period of my enrolment and student visa, in accordance with Immigration NZ regulations. I am required to inform the Insurance Administration Office of any changes during the insurance period (eg, I am no longer enrolled, I have a change of status to domestic student or I enrol with a different provider) OR if I am studying overseas or conducting research overseas, on suspension or on student exchange before waiver due dates.

I agree to apply for an insurance waiver for every quarter or semester I am enrolled in (for doctoral students every year). If not, the University will charge my customer account for thier preferred insurance policy (Studentsafe-University). The University of Auckland is not liable for any claims not met by any insurance assessed as compliant or not compliant to the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students.
