Subject: Official Information request - Course related costs for part time
students

 

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

 

I'm requesting information as to why most part time students are unable to
get the course related costs other students get despite having the same
costs (such as technology upgrades, textbooks and going to and from course
etc).

 

I am interested to know if this is an internal StudyLink policy or if it
is based in legalisation.

 

If it is based in Legalisation, where? What Act and clause?

 

If this is an internal StudyLink policy I would like documentation as to
how this decision was created and is now implemented.

Also if this is an internal  StudykLink decision I would like details as
to how other put out part time students and myself might go about having
this revised.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Amy McEwen
