Costs
Fees for 2009 are expected to be set later in 2008. For an indication of costs, the tuition fees for 2008 (for students enrolled in a full-time load of 120 points except where indicated) are listed in the table below. Some adjustment for 2009 is expected.In addition to tuition fees, students pay a student services fee and a building levy. In 2008 (for a student enrolled in a full time load of 120 points) these fees are:
| Student Services Fee | $333.60 |
| Building Levy | $67.20 |
All of these fees are charged on a per-point basis, so students taking less than 120 points will pay proportionately lower fees.
For a true indication of how much it will cost you to study, take a look at the fees for your programme, then factor in costs such as textbooks, accommodation, transport and other living expenses.
When fees for 2009 are set, updated information will be available at www.auckland.ac.nz/fees
Financial assistance
There are various options available to help you fund your university study. Student loans and allowances are available through StudyLink, and the University offers a number of scholarships, awards and grants to help get you started.
Student allowances
The student allowance is a weekly payment to help with a student's living costs while in full-time study on an approved programme. It is available to New Zealand citizens and permanent residents who have held New Zealand residency for at least two years. For more information call StudyLink on 0800 88 99 00.
Student loans
To be eligible for a student loan you must be a New Zealand citizen or have been granted permanent resident status. You must be studying full-time for a minimum of 12 weeks, or part-time for a full year, at an approved tertiary institution. You may apply for tuition fees, course-related costs (for example, books, stationery and travel) and living costs (living costs are not available to part-time students). Applications for loans should be made at least one month before study begins. Full information about loans and allowances is available by contacting StudyLink on 0800 88 99 00 or visiting www.studylink.govt.nz

Work and study
Before committing to a part-time (or full-time) job, you should find out whether you are expected to undertake practicum or professional placements as part of your study. This may affect your ability to work certain hours during parts of the year.
Remember also that it’s important to strike a balance between the number of hours you work and the requirements of your university study.
Unemployment benefit - Student hardship
Student allowances and loans are only available to students during the period of their enrolment. If you are not studying over the summer break, and cannot find a job to
support yourself, you may be eligible for the Unemployment Benefit - Student Hardship.
You generally need to be eligible for a student allowance during your study to be eligible for the benefit, but there are additional hardship criteria that may be applicable if you don¢©?t qualify for the allowance.
Full information on the Unemployment Benefit - Student Hardship is available by contacting StudyLink on 0800 88 99 00 or visiting www.studylink.govt.nz
