Dear Lesley,
Released
It has been some weeks now since we received the report and we have been
utilising it to determine the strategy that we are going to adopt to
create a programme that will satisfy the requirements and work for the
College. As you can appreciate, this is not an easy task with complex
under
issues to be sorted and we want to get it right without too much going
back and forth to the NZQA. My questions to you are, "Is there a time
frame in which this would be expected to be completed?" and "Does the
the
NZQA require a response from us within a certain time-frame?"

Subject:Re: Degree Programme
Dear Phillip
Thank you for your email and my apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I just returned to work yesterday after 6
weeks leave - India was very exciting and intriguing!
There is no timeframe set by NZQA for your response to the requirements, although if the timeframe went on for years
the current material would lose currency. There also a danger of panel members disappearing (overseas or
somewhere) and it can be complicated replacing them. But, as you say, there are complex issues to be sorted and I
agree that it would be better to take time to sort those out properly so there isn't a lot of to-ing and fro-ing to NZQA.
I would suggest that you begin work on the task asap, work out your own timeframe and send me that. It will help with
our planning this end. It would also be useful if you were to keep me posted from time to time about your progress.
Kind regards
Released

Subject:Degree application
12 March 2007
Dear Phillip
Thank you for your email of 20 February 2007 regarding your degree application. Please accept my apologies for the
delay in this response, but I have been away.
I'm sorry if you found the letter I sent you in response to yours, to be vague and non-specific. The requirements in the
panel report were not just set by NZQA but the whole panel of experts. As the NZQA representative and a panel
member, I cannot give you specific answers and thereby assist you in the development of your programme. It is the
panel's task to evaluate and judge your application against the gazetted criteria. None of us on the panel can advise
you and then judge that same application. It would become a conflict of interest.
As I recommended in the letter, you should seek such advice elsewhere, preferably from someone who has had
experience in the development of a degree programme.
Released
In regard to the comment about two visits, if your re-submission takes a long time the panel may have to re-visit as the
original application would have lost currency. It is usual to apply for approval and accreditation at the same time. I
suggest that you do so, because to split it into two processes, may well result in an extra visit.
I hope that this helps and all the best with your endeavours.
