The Extramural Students’ Society is the independent student union for extramurals.
Providing services and support for extramurals.
EXMSS is committed to providing services and representation for students in a transparent and accountable manner as directed by the EXMSS membership. As President I am charged with representing all Massey extramural students.
EXMSS feels it is unacceptable for New Zealand to have a Tertiary Education System that is unable to deliver the courses offered at the beginning of the year. What does that say about our Government’s vision and planning? Massey is not the only institution that has had to suddenly close its doors. For students this poorly organised, frantic dash to capped numbers, driven by a flawed strategy is completely unacceptable.
“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. Please add your comments so I can include your opinions in my representational activity. Read the latest - Summer School Enrolment Closure.

Shock Closure of Summer School Enrolments
(Media Release)
Summer School closed for all domestic students
Summer School enrolments have had to be closed to all domestic students, as at 5.00pm Thursday 22 July.
As at the end of the semester two enrolment period, the University has exceeded its TEC funding cap for the 2010 year, and because of continued enrolment pressures no further domestic student enrolments can be accepted.
The current closing dates for enrolment into summer school can be viewed here.
The key date is 01 November, and enrolment was advertised “conditional on availability of remaining places.”
International students may continue to apply for enrolment in summer school offerings until 01 November, since such enrolments are not limited by the domestic student funding cap.
Students already enrolled in summer school offerings will still be allowed to study. Where a low level of current enrolment makes a particular paper offering unsustainable, Colleges may redirect students to a suitable alternative.
Where special circumstances apply, cases will be considered on their individual merits. Applications for special consideration can be made to the Manager Enrolments and Academic Services, who will take advice from the Programme Director or Academic Director of the College concerned. Grounds for consideration include:
- Last paper required to complete a qualification or to fulfil professional association requirements
- Essential preparation for 2011 enrolment into a strategically important Massey programme
- Severe financial or personal hardship
- Student withdrawn by the College from semester two paper because they did not meet pre-reqs allowed to substitute a summer school paper.
