Dear Richard S

 

I refer to your Official Information Act request of 3 July 2017  for
documents that contain information about processes and obligations

qualifications.

 

NZQA has transferred the request to Universities New Zealand (UNZ). The
information you are seeking is not held by us and is believed to be held
by UNZ. In these circumstances we are required by section 14 of the
Official Information Act request to transfer your request.

 

You will hear further from Universities New Zealand.  

 

Regards

NZQA Ministerials Team

Dear Richard

 

NZQA has forwarded your request to me.

 

The Committee on University Academic Programmes (CUAP) outlines the
regulations and processes for programme approval and accreditation in the
university sector in its Handbook. Pdf and html versions of the CUAP
Handbook are available on the Universities NZ website
[1]http://www.universitiesnz.ac.nz/aboutus/....

 

With regards to your request:

 

 1. the obligations and processes that universities must comply with to
ensure that changes to existing programmes and qualifications are
clearly communicated to, and will not negatively impact upon, students
currently enrolled in those existing programmes and qualifications;

 

This is covered generally under Section 6.4.2 of the CUAP Handbook which
requires universities to report on the implications for students of
changes to programmes.

 

It’s covered in the CUAP Handbook more explicitly for programmes
conditionally approved by CUAP (s.6.7.3) and for programmes delivered
offshore (Appendix G  s13.3.2 and s13.4.3.6).

 

2)  the obligations and processes that universities must comply with to
ensure that the requirements and assessment of any programme or
qualification are clearly communicated to it students.

 

Again, in general terms, CUAP publishes Guidelines on information for
intending students (Appendix I of the CUAP Handbook).

 

Please let me know if you have any further questions. Universities also
have their own internal policies which may provide further information for
your purposes.

 

Kind regards

Wendy

Subject: Transfer of Official Information Act Request (corrected)

 

Dear Wendy

 

On the 3 July 2017 the New Zealand Qualifications Authority received a
request under the Official Information Act for the following information,

 

1) the obligations and processes that universities must comply with to
ensure that changes to existing programmes and qualifications are clearly
communicated to, and will not negatively impact upon, students currently
enrolled in those existing programmes and qualifications; and

 

(2)  the obligations and processes that universities must comply with to
ensure that the requirements and assessment of any programme or
qualification are clearly communicated to it students.

 

 

I have attached the original request to this email together with my email
advising the requester that NZQA is transferring the request to
UniversitiesNZ.

 

I am transferring the request to Universities New Zealand under section 14
(b) (i) of the Act as I believe this information is likely to be held by
 Universities New Zealand.

 

Under section 19 and 28(3) of the Act you have the right to ask an
Ombudsman to renew this decision.

 

Regards

 

Elizabeth Templeton
