Welcome to EXMSS

Tēnā koe! Haere mai!
The Extramural Students’ Society is the independent student union for extramurals.
Providing services and support for extramurals.

Ralph Springett

 EXMSS is committed to providing services and representation for students in a transparent and accountable manner as directed by the EXMSS membership. In 2012 the President of EXMSS will take a lead role in student enagement at Massey University. The EXMSS President will express the concerns and opinions, and advocate for  distance students thoughout New Zealand. Check out the EXMSS strategic plan for 2012-14. 

“The President’s Blog” is a rich environment where you can read my views, and others comments, on a wide range of issues that affect you. Provision of printed (rather than digital) study material has been a focus of my concerns recently. Voluntary membership of student associations is here. What does this mean for student associations and the student voice on campus? Read about representing student views to the University as we manage this period of change.

New Massey Student Shuttle Service Announced

EXMSS has negotiated a low cost shuttle service between Palmerston North Airport, Train and Bus terminals and Massey’s Manawatu campuses, starting on the 1st February.  EXMSS members receive the greatest benefit with trips between the Airport and Massey costing as little as six dollars. However all Massey students will benefit from student rates on Massey campus routes.

EXMSS members must present their EXMSS membership number in order to get the special membership rates.

In addition to the always-available discounted rates, EXMSS will be providing free shuttles for members from the Manawatu campuses to PN Airport during the contact course periods in April, July and September. EXMSS will provide further details closer to the time.

Free Membership: get benefits and support the student voice

For the first few months of 2012 membership of EXMSS will be free! If you are enrolled for 2012 I advise you to join EXMSS now. Membership is for the academic year.

Join for support, benefits and insider information

EXMSS has been preparing for this transition and has funds to cover the shortfall in 2012.  Membership benefits include a super-cheap shuttle service to and from the Manawatu campus, insider knowledge, through the e-zine Off Campus, about what’s going on in the tertiary sector and behind the screens at Massey, access to high-level advocacy support, and the EXMSS scholarships, plus other giveaways.

EXMSS: membership now an option

Membership of EXMSS will be voluntary in 2012. Services delivered to all students will be delivered independently of EXMSS although during the transition period some may still be managed by EXMSS.

I am pleased to say that EXMSS has a clear strategic plan, clarity about the services it wishes to provide to its members and good strategies for providing an independent voice for distance and part time students.

For the first months of 2012 membership of EXMSS will be free! If you are enrolled for 2012 I advise you to join EXMSS – we will update you on the process in the New Year.  Read more….
