Who cares about
the environment?
We do!
In 1993 the University adopted an Environmental
Charter and an Environmental Policy (the first among
New Zealand tertiary establishments) to support the
work of the already established staff-student group
called Lincoln Environmental Organisation (LEO). This
led to the formation of a formal Environmental Task
Force and the revision of the Policy in 2003 and 2010 -
giving the University what it now has: the Sustainability
Advisory Group for the Environment (SAGE). SAGE
works alongside LEO to ensure the University treads
lightly on the Earth, ensuring we live up to our values
in the areas of sustainable practices, stewardship of
our own environment, and protection of the wider
environment.
The Universitys School of Landscape Architecture
building was built with locally sourced materials
with a life span of over 100 years and which require
minimal maintenance. In this building and across
campus, the University continues to make a difference
with significant efforts in energy conservation,
water management, resource recovery and waste
management.
Lincoln University is a major supporter of the Lincoln
Envirotown Trust and provides office space and
resources for the Chair of the Trust.
All our publications are printed on environmentally
responsible paper, produced using Elemental Chlorine
Free (ECF), Third Party Certified pulp sourced from
Well Managed and Legally Harvested Forests, and
manufactured under the strict ISO14001 Environmental
Management System.
New Zealands native biodiversity makes this country
unique and Lincoln University is very proud of our park-
like campus, gardens and the native plantings we have
both on campus and extensively at the Lincoln University
Dairy Farm.
The Maori outreach programme and the work of staff
across the University aims to facilitate an understanding
of, and acknowledges, Maori communities, iwi,
hapu, whanau and their affinity with their whenua
and their environments. Formal partnerships and
informal collaboration will ensure a continuing mutual
understanding and respect for the land, consistent with
the concept of kaitiakitanga (stewardship).
Key to all that Lincoln University does is an
awareness of the environment - from our
course content, to our native plantings, to
the paper this prospectus is printed on.
As New Zealands specialist land-based
university, our mission is to transform land,
people and economies: and we aspire to
do this without negatively impacting our
environment.
Land is something we value. It is, literally,
our world.

Enrolment and LUCAS
Enrolment for 2013 opens on 1 December 2012.
LUCAS is the Lincoln University Campus Administration
System; this is what you use to enrol in classes, register
for the semester or year, view your exam results, apply
for new programmes or a prerequisite dispensation,
update contact details, view the cost of your study and
make payments.
Once your application to study has been accepted you are
provided with a username and password to LUCAS. You
can then monitor the progress of your application. When
you are admitted to your programme you can then enrol
in your courses and register for the semester.
If you have any difficulties using LUCAS staff in Student
Administration can help you.
A change to your course of study may result in a change
in the fees. It may also impact on your eligibility for
student loans or allowances, and international students
may need to apply for a student visa variation. Students
on some scholarships must obtain prior approval from
their sponsor before this can be actioned.
There are also time limits on changing your courses.
Requests for late changes are normally declined, or if
approved, may incur a late course change fee.
Postgraduate Transfer
If youre applying for a transfer of credit of surplus
courses from another tertiary institution, youll need
to submit a certified copy of your academic record. You
must also provide a letter from the tertiary institution
confirming that the course applied for has not been
credited towards another degree or qualification. Apply
using the application for credit.
Exemptions and Credits
If youre transferring from another tertiary institution
you may be able to gain credits for your previous study.
You need to formally apply for these, and to do that
youll need to submit a certified copy of your academic
transcript.
There are two kinds of credit:
Specified credit - when a course closely corresponds
with a course offered at Lincoln University
Unspecified credit - when a course does not
correspond to a course offered at Lincoln University.
Unspecified credits can help make up the number of
courses needed for your degree but cannot be used
for prerequisites.
If granted an exemption you dont have to enrol in a
course even if its a core course for your degree. It can
be used as a prerequisite course but does not count as a
credit towards your degree.
You should lodge your application as soon as you can so
that your application can be assessed before you finalise
your enrolment. While we do not charge to make a credit
assessment, there will be a $75 fee for applying any
credit/exemptions awarded to your academic record.
To apply for credits and exemptions:
Download an application form from our website, or
collect a form from Student Administration.
PAGE 13
Field Trips
Some courses include compulsory field trips where you
visit a business, a farm, a factory or some other place
where you will see applications of the work you are
studying. These may be held during class time or on
a specific field trip day. There are five field trip days
scheduled during each semester and these are included
in the semester timetable. If a field trip is part of a
course outline or is programme-based, it is compulsory.
The course prescriptions indicate which courses include a
field trip or tour. Tours are of a longer duration and may
be held during university holidays.
Students taking the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture,
Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology and Graduate
Diploma in Viticulture and Oenology are required to
complete a programme based field tour. Full information
on field trip/tour regulations is available from Faculty
Administrators.

Please refer to the Lincoln University Calendar for official
information on fee regulations.
How your fees are made up
The fees you pay to study at Lincoln University are made
up of several parts:
Tuition fees these will vary depending on whether
you are a domestic or international student, what you
are studying and at what level
Student services levy charged to all students
Practical work fees applies to some programmes.
All tuition fees are calculated on a per course basis and
do not include the costs of text books, accommodation or
any other incidental fees incurred.
Tuition fees at Lincoln University are reviewed annually
(international fees in July and domestic fees in October)
and therefore it may only be possible to provide an
estimate of tuition fees at the time of assessing an
application to study. This estimate will be based on a
normal, full-time course of study in the qualification
for which the application has been assessed. Summer
School study is additional.
All fees for your approved course of study need to be
paid before you register (finish enrolling). If you are
planning on living in University accommodation the
residential fees must be paid in full at the beginning of
the year. All other fees are payable when you apply.
Unpaid fees, outstanding fines or debts of any sort to the
University, may result in exclusion from classes and/or
from obtaining other services provided by the University.
If a special payment arrangement is made with the
Finance Manager then all conditions must be adhered to.
Undergraduate and postgraduate tuition fees
Undergraduate and postgraduate fees for domestic and
international students are structured the same way.
Each course has a set fee, no matter what programme you
are enrolled in.
Research tuition fees
All research students pay an annual fee for their studies,
based on their status (full/part time) and the number
of months registered. This is calculated based on the
month the research begins. Upon handing in the thesis
tuition fees will be adjusted to reflect the submission
date.
Paying your tuition fees
You can pay your fees by cheque, EFTPOS, MasterCard,
Visa, direct credit or cash at the cashiers office located
on the ground floor of the George Forbes Memorial
Building. Credit card payments can be made via the
Make a Payment option in the finance section of LUCAS.

Student loans (domestic)
Domestic students may choose to pay by Student
Loan. You should check your eligibility for loans and/
or allowances with StudyLink. Applications are made
directly to StudyLink.
Email: www.studylink.govt.nz
Phone: 0800 88 99 00
If you are eligible for a Student Loan, you may use it to
pay all or part of your tuition fees. Important points to
note are:
1. Indicate on the Student Loan application form that
the loan is to pay course fees
2. Provide all the necessary supporting documentation
to StudyLink for the loan to be approved
3. If youre enrolled in a full year programme with
0.8000 EFTS or greater, youll be considered a
full-time student. If your programme is for one
semester, then you will need to be enrolled in a
course of study with 0.4000 EFTS or greater to be
considered full-time
4. Any changes you make to your chosen courses or
programme may impact on your loan and allowance
eligibility.
If you are a postgraduate student enrolled in a
dissertation (at either Honours or Masters level), you
should check your eligibility for loans and allowances
with both Lincoln University and StudyLink if the
submission date (according to the House Rules and/
or Lincoln University Calendar) is after the published
semester end date.
There are also some circumstances when research
students may NOT be eligible for the living component
of the student loan. It is important that you discuss
your enrolment with both Lincoln University and
StudyLink before you start your study to ensure you fully
understand your eligibility for financial assistance.
If close to completing, research students should have
applied to StudyLink for their loan before handing in
their thesis.
PAGE 15
Changing programmes and courses
A change to your course of study may result in a change
in fees. This may impact on your eligibility for student
loans and international students may need to apply for a
student visa variation.
There are time limits on changing your courses. You
should refer to the Important Dates section at the
beginning of this guide or see the Key dates section on
the Lincoln University website. Requests for late changes
are normally declined, or, if approved, may incur a late
course change fee.
Refunds and withdrawing from study
There are time limits on withdrawals and refunds
and withdrawal fees may apply. It is important you
understand the implications of a decision to withdraw.
Information about all withdrawal fees are available on
our website:
www.lincoln.ac.nz/Fees
The international student refund policy is published in
full on the Lincoln University website
www.lincoln.ac.nz. Please read this carefully before
deciding to withdraw from study. Youre welcome to
talk with staff at Student Administration, Student
Accommodation and the International Student Advisor
about this policy and what it may mean for you.
Student Services Fee
A compulsory Student Services Fee is charged to all
students. This covers the provision of a wide range of
services and activities.
Practical work fee
Some programmes have a compulsory practical work
component and there is an annual fee charged.
Orientation
Lincoln University provides an orientation programme
for all new to Lincoln University students upon arrival.
The orientation programme takes place in the week
prior to the start of the semester and the first week of
lectures. The events range from campus tours to sports
tournaments. You will also have the opportunity to
discuss your choice of courses with a Course Advisor, and
Student Administration staff will be on hand to assist you
with your enrolment.
The Lincoln University Students Association (LUSA) also
host a range of social activities during the first week of
the semester. Details can be found on the LUSA website
www.lusa.org.nz.
The orientation programmes for Semester One and
Two 2013 will be displayed on our website as they are
confirmed. Go to www.lincoln.ac.nz/Student-Life-at-
Lincoln/Orientation
Postgraduate students should note that some faculties
also hold additional orientation sessions. You should
consult your Facultys Postgraduate Administrator for
further information.
While formal orientation events are not normally
offered prior to Summer School, new students are
encouraged to meet with the following people; the
International Student Advisor or the Recruitment Team;
the Administration staff; Library, Teaching and Learning
staff; your Academic Course Advisor.
Partial waiver of assessment
If you fail a course and decide you want to repeat it in
a subsequent year, you can apply for a partial waiver of
assessment. Being granted a waiver means you may be
exempt from some or all of the tests, assignments and
field trips. You will still need to sit the final examination.
You must be enrolled in the course in order for a partial
waiver to be valid, and you will still need to pay the full
tuition fees.
If you are successful in gaining a waiver, and as part
of that you are exempt from a field trip, you may be
refunded the cost of the travel which has been allocated
within the course fee.
The final decision regarding your application is made
by the Academic Administration Committee, although
we would recommend you discuss it with the lecturer
concerned.
To apply for a partial waiver of assessment:
Application forms are available from Student
Administration
Check the Important Dates for application
deadlines.
Practical work
Practical work is one of the strengths of the Lincoln
University qualifications and a major reason why Lincoln
University graduates and diplomates move so easily into
employment.
Employers value the breadth and depth of knowledge
that practical work experience provides, and consistently
rate this component of Lincoln Universitys courses
highly. Lincoln University maintains excellent relations
with employers in a wide range of industries.
If you are enrolling in a degree or diploma with a
practical work requirement, youll need to understand
what is required as early as you can in order to effectively
plan your practical work.
Undergraduate diplomas and degrees with a practical
work component include:
Bachelor of Agriculture
Bachelor of Agricultural Science
Bachelor of Commerce (Agriculture)
Bachelor of Commerce (Valuation and Property
Management)
Bachelor of Landscape Architecture
Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management
Bachelor of Science majoring in Food Science
Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology

PAGE 17
Prerequisites
In many cases students cannot enrol in a course
(normally over the 100 level) until they can demonstrate
that they have successfully passed a course at a
lower level. These lower level courses are known as
prerequisites.
Prerequisites for each course are listed within the course
prescriptions. Most of these are straightforward, but
there are some which may be confusing; for example:
BIOS 112, ECOL 201 both courses are required as
prerequisites
LWST 101 or 102, or MGMT 104 or 105 plus either
VAPM 202 or 203, or five 200 level units requires a
pass in just one of the listed 100 level courses as well
as either one of the two VAPM courses or any five 200
level courses
HORT 105 or PLSC 104, or BIOS 109 and ECOL 103
requires a pass in either HORT 105 or PLSC 104 or
passes in both BIOS 109 and ECOL 103.
You are also advised to take courses that are listed as
recommended preparation.
You may not need to complete listed prerequisites if:
You have a graduate status
Youre at Lincoln University on an approved Study
Abroad and Global Mobility programme
You have an appropriate specified credit transferred
from another university
Hardship, or because the prerequisite would cause
your course of study to be unreasonably extended.
Your case will be referred to the Universitys Academic
Administration Committee, which will consider your
circumstances, consult with the Head of Department
and look at your past academic record. Many
applications of this type are declined, so we do advise
you to consult with the advisor and examiner of the
course before applying for a dispensation.
There are normally no formal prerequisites for 600 level
courses because it is the responsibility of the Academic
Co-ordinator or supervisor to ensure you have the
appropriate background to enrol in a 600 level course.
Students enrolling in the Graduate Diplomas and
Certificates should note that your course of study must
be approved by the Academic Co-ordinator who will
ensure that the combination of courses is relevant and

Timetable
Find the full timetable for each semester at http://
timetable.lincoln.ac.nz shortly before the start of the
semester.
Each undergraduate course is assigned to a timetable
block, with each block allocated certain hours of the
week. To work out your study timetable:
1. Find the courses you are going to study
2. Look to see which blocks they are assigned to
3. Find the hours allocated to that block on the
following page.
You cannot choose two courses in the same block in the
same semester because lectures and exam times will
clash.
Most blocks are assigned five hours in the week. The
teaching hours can be made up of combinations of
lectures, tutorials and laboratory classes. Some courses,
especially those at 300 level may not use all five hours
assigned to the timetable block.
In courses with tutorials or laboratory sessions, classes
may be split into different streams and there may be a
range of optional times offered for tutorial or laboratory
sessions. Some of these times may be outside the five
allocated hours for the block set out in the following
pages. The examiner will arrange the tutorial and/or
laboratory groups during the first week of lectures.
For postgraduate studies and courses without a block,
lecture times will be arranged by the examiner in
consultation with students at the beginning of the
semester.

International
Students
Every year, Lincoln University welcomes students from all
over the world. If you are an international student this
page contains information that is specifically for you.
Immigration and your student visa
If you plan to study for more than three months you
will need a current and valid student visa. You do not
need a student visa if you are a citizen of New Zealand or
Australia, or hold a New Zealand residence permit, or a
holder of a current Australian permanent residence visa
including a current Australian resident return visa. Check
on the Immigration New Zealand website for further
information at www.immigration.govt.nz.
Once you have been admitted to your Lincoln University
programme and paid your fees, our admission staff will
provide you with an offer of place. If you are based in
Christchurch already, you should apply for your visa
online, using the Immigration New Zealand facilities
here on campus. As you need to renew your visa during
the period of your study with us, you will continue to
use this online facility visas are usually issued within a
week of application.
If you are overseas when applying for your first student
visa, you will need to allow plenty of time to do this,
using an Immigration New Zealand branch office.
You cannot complete your enrolment and register until
you have your valid visa. While you are studying at
Lincoln University you will also need to ensure that your
passport does not expire and that you maintain a current
visa. If you have any concerns please see the staff in
Student Administration.
As a guide, to apply for a Student Visa/Permit you will
need to bring:
Your passport
A recent New Zealand bank statement in your name
showing that you have at least NZ$7,500 (half
year) or NZ$15,000 (full year), OR a completed New
Zealand Financial Undertaking for living expenses
form. (Tuition fees must have been paid before the
date of the issued bank statement.)
PLUS you need to show you have sufficient funds
held in New Zealand to cover the cost of outward
travel to a country to which you have right of entry
(approximately $1,000-$2,000), OR a fully paid travel
ticket to any such country
A receipt for the payment of your tuition fees or
original/verified scholarship letter
A completed INZ (1012) Application to Study in New
Zealand form, available from Student Administration
or www.immigration.govt.nz
A completed and signed Student Permit Renewal
Checklist form (if appropriate), available from
NZ$145.00 application fee.*
*correct at time of printing
Medical and travel insurance
New Zealand law requires international students
to have appropriate and current medical and travel
insurance. The regulations are very specific about what
this means. All New Zealand universities, including
Lincoln University, endorse the insurance plan known
as Studentsafe-University. You can read more about the
policy, premiums and contact details for claims at
www.lincoln.ac.nz/insurance
Students who opt to purchase compliant insurance from
an alternative approved provider must make sure that the
policy expiry date is valid until your return home OR for
the period of your student visa, if you are staying in New
Zealand.
Lincoln University provides an assessment service
advising on policies that meet the required standards.
We strongly advise that you do not take out insurance
from your home country as policies generally do not meet
the specific requirements for New Zealand compliance.
Students cannot be permitted to register with non-
compliant insurance. Check our website for current
details of compliant and non-compliant policies.
PAGE 21
Code of practice
Lincoln University has agreed to observe and be
bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of
International Students. Copies of the Code are available

Immigration
Full details of immigration requirements, advice on
rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and
reporting requirements are available from Immigration
New Zealand, and can be viewed on their website at
www.immigration.govt.nz.
Eligibility for health services
Most international students are not entitled to publicly
funded health services while in New Zealand. If you
receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be
liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details
on entitlements to publicly funded health services are
available through the Ministry of Health, and can be
viewed on their website at www.moh.govt.nz.
Accident insurance
The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) provides
accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens,
residents, and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but
you may still be liable for all other medical and related
costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC
website at www.acc.co.nz.
Medical and travel insurance
International students (including group students)
must have appropriate and current medical and travel
insurance while in New Zealand.
Study Abroad and
Global Mobility
Programmes
Study Abroad programme
Lincoln University offers a fee-paying Study Abroad
programme for one or two semesters that enables
students to earn credits at Lincoln University to put
towards a degree at their home college or university.
Study Abroad students pay their tuition fees in full
for the semester or year in advance. Fees are updated
annually, with the updated amount quoted in each
students offer letter.
Global Mobility Programme
To participate in a Lincoln University Global Mobility
programme, students need to be nominated by one of
the Universitys partner institutions. These include:
USA
California State University

tuition fees at Lincoln University. Global Mobility
students come to Lincoln University to study for one or
two semesters and credit their study towards their degree
at their home institution.
Current Lincoln University students can apply to take
part in the Global Mobility programme. Students should
discuss this with their course advisor and the Study
Abroad and Global Mobility Co-ordinator, located in the
Student Administration office.

semester. This offers a detailed account for each course
including list of topics covered, in-term assessment and
exam details, list of textbooks and readings.
If students require a copy of the course outline in
advance, in order to get pre-approval of courses from
their home institution, they can contact the Study
Abroad and Global Mobility Coordinator.
Completion of studies
On completion of their studies at Lincoln University, each
Study Abroad and Global Mobility student will receive
an official transcript of their academic record. This will
normally be posted to their home institution or home
address shortly after the release of the examination
results.
For more information about the Study Abroad or Global
Mobility Programmes, please contact
Study Abroad Co-ordinator
Email: admissions@lincoln.ac.nz
Credits and course codes
Study Abroad students are required to study full-time to
satisfy Immigration New Zealand requirements.
This means that students will need to study 60 Lincoln
University credits per semester:
For undergraduate students this means choosing four
courses per semester, each worth 15 credits
For postgraduate students this means choosing three
courses per semester, each worth 20 credits.
Students can choose from any of the courses on offer at
Lincoln University, provided they have the appropriate
background for the course they wish to study. The rules
for meeting prerequisite requirements are not imposed
for Study Abroad and Global Mobility students, however
noting the prerequisites will assist students to select
suitable courses.
It is compulsory for Study Abroad and Global Mobility
students to obtain course advice when registering at
Lincoln University. Academic staff can advise students
if they are sufficiently well prepared and have the
appropriate background to take the course.
During the first week of each semester students can
make changes to courses, and course advisors are also
available to assist with this process.

(B.E.M.P.)
More and more individual s, businesses and regions are
either choosing to operate sustainably and minimise their
environmental ef fects, or are being coerced to do so by
regulation or pressure from the marketplace. This has increased
demand for graduates with environmental management and
planning skills.
With a combination of academic and applied elements and a
focus on the interrelationships between the ecological, social
and economic aspects of the environment, Lincoln Universitys
Bachel or of Environment al Management and Pl anning
(B.E.M.P.) degree offers a unique multi-disciplinary education
in the theory, methods and practices of policy, planning and
management.
Our collaborative links with environmental organisations,
consultancies, regional authorities and research institutes
also mean that you will gain an education based on the highest
standards, real world thinking and practical examples.
As a Lincoln University B.E.M.P. graduate, youll have a robust
knowledge of multiple disciplines of strategic significance
to environmental management, planning and sustainable
development. Your awareness of the responsibilities and
the statutory and institutional processes of environmental
management and pl anning local ly and global ly wil l be
heightened by your understanding of how the biophysical and
social/cultural environmental dimensions interact.
Once you have finished your degree, it is likely you will be in
high demand, with many opportunities for employment in
areas such as policy development, planning, greening business
and impact assessment. Raised environmental awareness and
demand for greener production have also increased employment
opportunities in non-environmental industries, such as the
manufacturing sector.
Within the three-year B.E.M.P. degree it is possible to complete
an additional major or minor, e.g. Environmental Biogeosciences;
Energy and Transport, Human Resource Management, M

As part of Lincoln Universitys commitment to the sustainable
transformation of l and, people and economies, we have

issues. Graduates develop a sound knowledge of both scholarship
and practice of strategic importance to environmental planning
and policy, within statutory, institutional and organisational
frameworks.
The B.E.P.P.(Hons) is a four year degree that satisfies extended
graduate requirements in terms of information literacy,
critical thinking, evaluation, integration and application. The

content, skills and knowledge required to work successfully in
central, regional and local government and non-governmental
organisation roles. The degree makes good use of collaborative
links with other environmental organisations, consultancies,
research institutes and central, local and regional authorities.
The degree is informed by cutting-edge research and real-
world examples that draw upon Lincoln Universitys strengths,
particularly in the areas of property studies, water resources,
agriculture and horticulture, landscape, and environmental
management.

Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (B.L.A.)
Lincoln University has an international reputation for excellence
in Landscape Architecture and is the only university offering
a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (B.L.A.) degree in the
South Island.
The practical work and applied community-based projects
undertaken within the degree provide real world experience
that is invaluable in the transition to professional employment.
Youll be able to apply your advanced design, planning and
management skill s and detailed knowledge of landscape
materials to provide creative and practical design responses.
And youll be able to do so with a good awareness of the national
and international context of landscape architectural practice
along with the different types of designed landscapes that have
been created, and the cultural meanings they express.
Employers value the creative, conceptually robust and practical
hands-on approach that you as a Lincoln University Bachelor
of Landscape Architecture (B.L.A.) graduate will bring to your
work.
This degree is fully accredited with the New Zealand Institute of
Landscape Architects (NZILA), and has professional recognition
in Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore. It is also recognised
by the International Federation of Landscape Architectects.
Employment opportunities include careers in consultancy, local
and central government, the landscape industry, education,
and non-governmental organisations. Our graduates can
be found working at every level of practice throughout New
Zealand, Australia, SE Asia, China, Europe, North America and
the Middle East in roles ranging from new graduates to partners
and directors.
Degree requirements
Lincoln University offers two undergraduate study options: a
four-year degree for undergraduate entry (B.L.A.) and a two
year degree graduate entry programme for graduates of other
disciplines (B.L.A. graduate entry).
All B.L.A. students take a series of design studio courses, each
of which involves projects, usually based on sites in Canterbury.
These studio courses are: LASC 108, 109, 215, 216, 316, 319,
322, 406, 409.
Additional minors
It is possible to complete an additional minor with your
B.LA. degree, e.g. Urbanism and Design; Ma
-
ori Studies;
Spatial Planning; or Design Critique. This will give you the
opportunity to develop your own specialisation. Courses at
the 300 level credited to a degree, major or minor may not be
credited to any other degree, major or minor. Find out more at
B.L.A. (undergraduate entry)
To qualify for the B.L.A. as an undergraduate entrant you must
pass 480 credits. The courses for the degree are highly prescribed
and the programmes four years are designated the Intermediate,
First, Second and Third Professional Year respectively. The
courses for each year are shown in Schedule A. Please note that
mid-year entry into the Intermediate Year is possible and with
the use of Summer School can reduce the duration of the degree
to three and a half years.
You also need to be aware that in order to progress from the
Intermediate Year to the First Professional Year, you must achieve
a satisfactory standard in the Intermediate Year courses of the
B.L.A. This will normally be reached if you gain either:
A pass in no fewer than seven courses from the Intermediate
Year of the B.L.A., and with at least a B-average in LASC 108
and 109, or
A pass in no fewer than six courses from the Intermediate Year
of the B.L.A. with at least a B-average in those six courses,
and with at least a B-average in LASC 108 and 109.
B.L.A. (Graduate Entry)
Students who already have a bachelors degree are able to take
an accelerated 300 credit B.L.A degree. The two years of study
are designated first and second professional year respectively
and the courses for each year are shown in Schedule B. Please
note that if you choose to start the B.L.A. as a graduate entrant
in Semester Two, you will need to spread your study over two
and a half years.
B.L.A. (GradEntry) students who have excelled in their first year
will be able to transfer out of the B.L.A. and into the M.L.A. which
will take a further 18 months.
Practical work
In order to qualify for this degree, undergraduate entrants must
complete 12 weeks of approved practical work, while graduate
entrants must complete six weeks of practical work. Find out
more by emailing practicalwork@lincoln.ac.nz

Lincoln Universitys Bachelor of Science degree is f irmly
anchored in the needs and issues of the real world and differs
markedly from a B.Sc. at many other universities. Instead of
being discipline based, science at Lincoln University is applied
and context based. We focus our scientif ic knowledge and
research on helping you contribute to sustainable management
and conservation of land, water and air and the countrys natural
resources. As a result, youll know how to apply scientif ic
methods and correctly interpret the results of scientific studies,
and youll understand science in a real world context through
exposure to industry and sectors that utilise this science.
Lincoln University has a reputation for excellence in science.
Our campus is surrounded by Crown Research Institutes and
our teaching staff are some of New Zealands best researchers
in l and-based sciences, many with strong international
collaborations.
With eight majors to choose from, youll be hard-pressed to find
a science degree that is more versatile or personal. To make your
skills even more valuable, you can also choose a double major or
design your own individual major. To broaden your career options
we encourage you to incorporate other areas of study within

Conjoint Degrees
Conjoint enrolment is permitted in any two of the following
degrees:
B.S.& I.T.
B.E.M.P.
B.Com.
B.Soc.Sc.
B.S.R.M.
B.Sc.
B.T.M.
Permission for conjoint enrolment will be granted only if you
have sufficiently high grades for the Academic Administration
Committee to be convinced that you will be able to handle the
extra work required. The entrance requirement is, therefore,
higher than the basic university entrance. Continued enrolment
in a conjoint programme will be reviewed each year.
If you wish to enter conjoint programmes you must apply to do
so no later than the beginning of your second year of study.
The minimum time for a conjoint programme is four years. To
complete in four years will require you to enrol in more than the
usual full-time workload.
Up to 150 credits may be credited to both degrees. Therefore
to complete a conjoint programme requires a minimum of 570
credits. Any course that is used to meet the major or 300 level
requirements of one degree may not be used to meet the major
or 300 level requirements of the other degree.
The course of study must meet the regulations for each of the
two component degrees.
If you seek admission to a conjoint programme, you must
complete a Course of Study form in consultation with the
Academic Co-ordinator for conjoint degrees. You are strongly
advised to consult the Academic Co-ordinator before applying for
conjoint enrolment. The course of study will then be submitted
for Academic Administration Committee approval. Course of
Study forms are available from Student Administration.

explore the ways in which design theory develops and is used by designers,
including looking at some key examples and entries from international
design competitions. We investigate a range of design theories, and relate
these to built works from around the world, including theories of place,
time, experience, and the relationship between landscape architecture
and architecture. The emphasis is on applying the design theories we
cover in order to gain first hand experience of them, so the project work
is tuned towards expressing theory in design.

Doctor of
Philosophy
(PhD)
PAGE 185
The Doctor of Philosophy is an advanced research degree.
PhD students conduct a major research project and present the
results in the form of a thesis. Doctor of Philosophy level study
must represent research that is original within the discipline.
This research is designed to create advanced knowledge. Once
completed, the thesis is examined by international experts in
the field of the research.
If you are a full-time PhD student, it is expected that you
will complete the degree in three years and, normally, in no
more than four years. The minimum time for PhD is two years
full-time study. Most students take longer than this minimum
time. The maximum time allowed for full-time PhD students is
five years. Students who study part-time throughout their course
of study must complete within six years of starting.
In some cases, if Lincoln University considers that you have
insufficient academic background in your area of proposed study,
you may be required to undertake a bridging programme either
before, or concurrent with your PhD study. This would normally
be courses at masters level.
The Doctor of Philosophy is available in all the disciplines studied
What you will be studying
Once you have been admitted to a PhD degree by the Academic
Administration Committee, you need to choose the area in
which you intend to conduct research. At this early stage, it is
important that you have wide discussions with your Postgraduate
Co-ordinator and with academic staff who specialise in your
general f ield of interest, in order to give full and careful
consideration to the course of study. Because PhD study is
intended to create knowledge through original research, you will
need to be sure that the topic offers the scope for originality. If
you have not made personal contact with the relevant academic
staff, you should ensure you meet them and discuss the proposed
course of study before the semester starts.
Through this process of consultation with the Divisional Director
and other staff, you decide on your general research topic and
supervisor.
The Postgraduate Co-ordinator will choose a supervisor from the
lecturing staff of the division you are enrolled in. The supervisor
will be appointed at the beginning of the course of study. This
ensures that you will receive proper guidance and advice in the
stages leading up to the completion of the research proposal,
as well as during the research itself.
In some cases, the staff member appointed as supervisor at the
outset of the course of study will not be the final supervisor.
This does not, however, reduce the importance of the role of
the initial supervisor.
You must also have at least one associate supervisor from the
lecturing staff of the University. Co-supervisors may also be
appointed from within or from outside the University.
In exceptional circumstances, the Dean may apply to the
Academic Administration Committee for consent to appoint
as the sole or primary associate supervisor a member of the
research staff of the University.
In approving your proposed course of study, the Postgraduate
Co-ordinator is required to ensure the coherence of your
course of study and the adequacy of your previous studies as
preparation for research in the proposed area.
If your previous studies do not adequately prepare you for your
research project, the Postgraduate Co-ordinator should identify
the courses required for bridging. In approving your course of
study, the Dean must ensure that you comply with any conditions
imposed on your course of study at admission.
The structure and nature of the course of study must be in
line with the PhD house rules if it is to be approved by the
Postgraduate Co-ordinator. If a variation is sought from these
rules, then Academic Administration Committee approval is
necessary.
The Dean also makes an assessment of the Divisions capacity to
resource the course of study.
The Dean must also ensure that the supervisor and associate
supervisor are appropriately qualified for their roles.
The Faculty is required to maintain a record of the full course
of study including:
The thesis topic
The names of your supervisor and associate supervisor
The date of formal commencement
Any conditions imposed on admission.

If you have never been to university before, you will
need to consider the right undergraduate qualification
for you. Not everyone goes straight into a bachelors
degree programme and you might want to consider an
undergraduate certificate or diploma.
Depending on interests, time, and current qualification,
you can choose from the undergraduate certificate,
diploma or degree level courses, or postgraduate if you
already have a degree.
The qualifications we offer are:
Certificate courses bridging programme for people who
dont have University Entrance, or who are coming back
to University and feel the need to prepare for further
study.
Diploma courses these are one year programmes that
focus on particular areas of interest.
Bachelors degree level courses in most cases, the
bachelors degree level courses follow the path you want,
mixing optional subjects with core requirements.
Undergraduate qualifications usually commence in
semester one (February), but it is sometimes possible
to start in semester two (July) depending on the
qualification selected.
Lincoln University also offers a wide range of single
or multi-disciplinary research opportunities for those
looking for highly respected postgraduate qualifications.
Honours degrees the opportunity for those with high
academic results to complete a fourth year of study on
completion of their bachelors degree.
Postgraduate and graduate certificates and diplomas
graduate certificates and diplomas allow you to transfer
from another area of study to gain skills in an area of
interest, or build on the bachelors degree or equivalent
already gained.
Masters degree enables you to develop a thesis in a
chosen area (highest predoctorate qualification).
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) available in all the
disciplines in which the University offers postgraduate
studies. This is a further three years study and a thesis
on top of a Masters or Honours degree.

concurrently with another is said to be taking a double degree.
This is similar to a conjoint degree, but allows fewer units to be
cross-credited and requires a normal semester load of courses.
PAGE 195
Electives
A course that is not part of the core of a course but which is
available if you are enrolled in that course is called an elective.
Enrolment
Enrolment is the process whereby you notify the University of
an intention to study and provide to the University the detailed
information on yourself, your status and your study intentions.
Examiner
A member of the academic staff responsible for the organisation
of a course. Usually, the examiner does much of the lecturing
in the course. Although other members of the staff may give
lectures in the course, the examiner is the person who is
responsible to the Dean for the conduct of the course.
Exclusion
A decision by a university to exclude a student from continuing
studies at that university, usually on the grounds of unsatisfactory
academic performance.
Exemption
An exemption is a decision that a particular student will not
be required to complete a core course or will not be required to
pass a certain course for prerequisite purposes. An exemption
decision is made on the grounds of the students previous study.
Faculty
A faculty at Lincoln University is a group of staff members who
conduct, or assist in the conduct of, teaching and research in a
particular field. Faculties also group department and research
centres together.
Field Trip/Field Tour
Certain courses include field trips or tours. These may be visits
to a business, a farm, a factory or some other place where you
may see applications of the work you are studying. A trip is one
day or less, while a tour lasts several days.
Full time
Each programme has a defined number of credits that make up
a full time course of study. This is very important for student
allowances or loans purposes and for international students.
Grade
A grade is awarded af ter the examination in a course and
measures your performance in the course. The highest is A+
and the lowest is E.
Graduate
A person who has satisfied the requirements for a degree and
has received that degree.
Honours
Some degrees may be awarded with honours. In some cases
honours involves one extra year of study. In other cases, it
involves an enriched course of study, while in others the award
of honours recognises the standard of your work. There are
different classes of honours, with first class honours denoting
the highest award.
International Student
A student from overseas, studying in New Zealand on a student
permit.
Laboratory
Many courses have laboratory requirements. These are usually
practical sessions related to lecture material.
Lecture
The main method of teaching at university.
Level
Courses are taught at different levels that reflect the difficulty
and the degree of advancement of the course.
Limitation of Entry
A limit placed on the number of students that can be registered
for a particular course.
Limited Full time
In special circumstances, you may enrol more than half-time
and be given the benefits of full-time status. This is called
limited full-time.
Major and Minor
An area of study in which you specialise by taking a group of
courses including advanced level courses.
Masters Degree
An advanced programme taken by a graduate. The masters
degree usually builds on the area of specialisation and commonly
involves research and a thesis.
Orientation
A programme of events at the start of the year to introduce new
students to university life.
Partial Waiver of Assessment
If you fail a course or receive a restricted pass in that course and
wish to repeat that course you may apply to be exempt from some
or all of that courses tests, assignments and field trips. This is
called a partial waiver of assessment. A partial waiver will never
include the final examination.
Part-time
When only a portion of the units required for full-time study
are taken the student is said to be part-time. Part-time study
does not qualify a student for student allowances or some of the
student loan provisions.
PhD (Doctorate)
A higher degree following an honours or masters programme. A
PhD involves research and a thesis. The minimum time required
for a PhD is two years full time study.
Postgraduate Courses
Normally undertaken by people who have qualif ied for a
bachelors degree.
Practical Work
Some programme regulations require a specified period of
related practical work to be completed before you may graduate
or be awarded their certificate or diploma.
Prerequisite
In some cases, you may not enrol in an advanced course unless
you have satisfactorily completed a lower level course in the
same field. In this case, the required lower level course is called
a prerequisite. A course is only listed as a prerequisite for an
advanced course if the University considers that you could not
reasonably be expected to handle the advanced course without
having the prerequisite.
Prescriptions
A prescription for a course is a brief list of the topics to be
covered in that course.
Programme
The certificate, diploma, degree for which you register. Each
programme consists of a number of courses, which are set out
in the regulations for the programme.
Recommended Preparation
When one course is thought by the University to be important,
but not absolutely essential, as preparation for an advanced
course, the course will be listed as recommended preparation
for the advanced course. You are advised to have taken the
recommended preparation before enrolling in the advanced
course. You are not, however, required to have taken the
recommended preparation.
Reconsideration
Students can apply to have their examination script remarked if
they believe an error has been made. Application must be made
within 28 days of the publication of results.
Recount
Students can apply to have the marks for a course recounted if
they believe an error has been made. Application must be made
within 28 days of the publication of results.
Registry
Registry staff are responsible for the general administration
of the University including the enrolment of students and all
administrative matters resulting from that enrolment including
fees and examinations.
Regulations
The regulations of the University and the programme regulations
for degrees, diplomas and certificates are the rules by which staff
and students operate. The regulations are listed in the Lincoln
University Calendar.
Restriction
You may not receive credit for two courses that have a substantial
amount of material in common. If there are two courses in the
same schedule that have a substantial amount of common
material, then there will be a restriction between them. In that
case, you may not credit both to the degree or diploma.
Returning Student

Schedule
The list of courses available to students enrolled in a programme
is called the schedule. The schedule usually includes the course
code, course name, prerequisites, recommended preparation
and restrictions.
Semester
The academic year is divided into two halves called semesters.
The word semester derives from the Latin words for six and
month.
Stream
The word has two meanings at Lincoln University: 1. It can
refer to a course of study leading to a major within a degree,
for instance, in the B.Sc., there are eleven streams available
(biochemistry, etc) each of which has a required set of courses; 2.
It also refers to a subgroup of a class in a course. For instance, a
class may be split up into different groups for laboratory classes.
These groups are also called streams.
Student Administration staf f assist students to apply for
admission, and are responsible for ensuring students complete
enrolment, pay fees and hold valid student visas. They also
administer scholarships, exams, practical work, the timetables
and graduation.
Student Exchange
Outgoing, Lincol n Uni versi t y student s apply through
International Student Services to study for one or two semesters
at one of our partner institutions. Incoming, Students from our
partner institutions apply through their international office to
study at Lincoln University for one or two semesters.
Study Abroad
International Students may enrol at Lincoln University for one
or two semester either via direct enrolment or through a third
party provider, agent.
Timetable
A daily programme of the time and place where courses are
taught available on LUCAS or the website http://timetable.
lincoln.ac.nz.
Transcript
A transcript of your academic record is a copy of the record of
your enrolment and grades.
Transferring Student
A student who has had previous tertiary education within New
Zealand but who was not last enrolled at Lincoln University.
Transitional Arrangements
Sometimes, when changes are made to regulations or course
schedules, students who began under the old rules are unable
to meet all of the new requirements. In this case, the University
will usually set up transitional arrangements, which may include
transitional prerequisites. These arrangements will normally
apply for a particular group of students and normally only for
a limited period.
Translated Documents
If your documents are in other languages please have this
transl ated into English by an authorised transl ator. You
must submit the original and the translated documents for
assessment.
Tutorial
A small group teaching session where academic issues and
problems of a course are discussed with a tutor.
Undergraduate
A university student studying for a bachelors degree or a
certificate or diploma course that did not require a previous
degree for admission.
Unsatisfactory Progress
Students whose academic progress is unsatisfactory may be
excluded from further enrolment or may have conditions or
limits placed on their enrolment. The regulations that define
what constitutes unsatisfactory progress are set out in the
Lincoln University Calendar.
PAGE 197
Examinations
All examinations are conducted according to the examination
rules. The examination rules are available on the Lincoln
University website. You are advised to read them carefully. A
summary of the rules is also provided in Appendix 3.
Examination administration procedures may be altered from
time to time as we strive to improve our service further.
Examination dates and times will be published on the Lincoln
University website at the end of week five of each semester.
Tests
The administration of tests is somewhat different from the
administration of examinations. Tests in classes with fewer than
100 students are conducted by examiners, not the Assessments
Office. Tests with class numbers of 100 students or more must
be run under examination conditions and are administered by
the Assessments Office. Examiners are, however, allowed to
determine exactly what form they wish their tests to take. This
may mean that test conditions differ slightly from examination
conditions. Usually, you will have been notified of the test
conditions by your examiner, before the test.
Students with a Disability, Injury or Illness
If you have any condition or situation which means that you
cannot sit examinations without being at a disadvantage
under normal conditions, you should make your requirements
for support and assistance for tests and examinations known
in advance to:
Inclusive Education Co-ordinator
Hud 003, Student Health Services, Ground Floor, south end of
Hudson Hall
Phone: +64 3 325 2811 ext 8866
Inclusive Education arranges any academic support and
equipment that is required.
Note: Early advice of special needs requirements is essential in
order for quality service.
Examination Results
Your examination results not only reflect your performance in
the examinations at the end of a semester. In nearly all courses,
they are an amalgamation of the examination mark and your
results in any in-term contributing class work, such as tests
and assignments.
Examination results can be viewed in LUCAS once the marks
have been conf irmed by the post examination Academic
Administration Committee meeting. These marks, however,
may be subject to change if any aegrotat, special consideration,
recount, reconsiderat ion, or appeal decisions are st ill
outstanding at the time of the examiners meetings.
The dates for release of examination results is shown in the
Calendar of Dates at the front of this publication.
Grading System
Information outlining the grading system for examination
results is available in Appendix 4. Please note that if you have
applied for aegrotat consideration for a course, and if the result
of the application has been decided before the printing of
results, the outcome will be indicated in the examination results
either by an A before the grade (if a grade only has been given),
or by a # after the mark (if a mark and grade have been given).
If you applied for an aegrotat, and the outcome of the application
has not been decided when the results were printed, then you
will be informed of the outcome of the application by letter.
Aegrotat Applications
Under what circumstances may application be made?
If you have failed to sit an examination, or if you consider
your performance has been seriously impaired by the effects
of sickness or injury.
This application requires a medical aegrotat form.
If you have not been affected by sickness or injury, but
have failed to sit an examination, or if you consider your
performance has been seriously impaired because of any other
circumstances beyond your control such as:
exceptional circumstances that have caused you grief, distress
or trauma
acts of God (such as flooding or earthquake or natural
disaster), acts of war or similar exceptional circumstances
other unusual and exceptional circumstances
misadventure
This application requires a non-medical aegrotat form.
If, through oversight or mechanical f ailure or simil ar
circumstances, you have missed an examination.
In this case you may apply for aegrotat consideration, and
you may be awarded an ungraded pass or ungraded fail
in the course depending on your performance during the
semester. Alternatively, you may be permitted to sit a further
examination.
This application requires a non-medical aegrotat form.
Note: Permission to sit a further examination may be granted
only by the Academic Administration Committee and only in
exceptional circumstances.
You may submit a test aegrotat application to your examiner
if, for any of the reasons stated previously, you have been
prevented from completing:
an item of class work
practical work
an assignment
a test
or other activity
APPENDIX I
Examinations
(Please note that all pieces of in-term work will be referred to in
this book by the term test. This term is also used on the aegrotat
application form.)
Test aegrotat applications are made on medical or non-medical
test aegrotat forms as appropriate.
Further information on the aegrotat process can be found in
Appendix 2.
Return of Examination Scripts
Once examination results have been released, you may ask for
a copy of your examination scripts. (These scripts are available
for release until six months after the examination.)
Please note that where you are considering an examination
recount or reconsideration application, you may wish to check
your script beforehand.
There is a fee for this service.
Recount/Reconsideration Applications
Where you sought a return of the examination script within
28 days of the date of publication of the results, an application
for a recount or reconsideration will be accepted, provided the
application is lodged within 28 days of the return of the script.
Recount or reconsideration applications should be lodged only
where it is considered a mistake has been made in the marking
of the script or in the processing of marks, e.g. it is suspected
that an assignment mark has been missed when calculating
final marks.
Applications for a recount and/or reconsideration should be
made online in LUCAS via the Appeals/Dispensation link.
A reconsideration application should not be lodged because you
are disappointed in your grade or because the course involved
is particularly important to your degree or diploma. Issues with
regard to the content of an examination paper are a matter for
appeal, not a reconsideration. A reconsideration is intended
as a means of checking the marking when you believe that the
published mark does not represent the standard of your work
in the course.
You will be expected to justify your request for a recount or
reconsideration at the time of application. You must have
reasonable grounds for your request, otherwise your application
may be refused.
Recounts
On receipt of an application for a recount of an examination
script, the examiner will check the applicants script in order
to ensure that
each part of the script has been considered in the marking
of the script
the marks assigned for the components of the script have
been correctly recorded
the mark awarded for the script as a whole has been correctly
derived from the component marks, and
the mark awarded for the course as a whole has been derived
correctly from the continuous assessment and examination
components.
Reconsiderations
On receipt of an application for a reconsideration of an
examination script, the examiner will perform each of the checks
listed above and, in addition, will remark the whole script.
There is no suggestion that lenience should be shown to a candidate
during the reconsideration or recount process.
The result of a recount or reconsideration will be conveyed by
letter, normally within three weeks of receipt of the application.
There are fees for recounts and reconsiderations upon application.
If your application results in a mark change your fee will be
refunded.
Applications for a recount and/or reconsideration should be
made online in LUCAS via the Appeals/Dispensation link.
You may make an aegrotat application if you believe your
performance in a test or examination has been impaired as a
result of illness, injury or other critical circumstances. You
are expected to sit the examination or test, unless severe
circumstances prevent them from doing so. A justified aegrotat
application does not guarantee a passing grade.
Graduation Applications
If you are eligible to graduate, an email will be sent to your
Lincoln email account approximately 2-3 weeks after the release
of examination results each semester. The email will direct you
to LUCAS where you can apply to graduate online.
In order to receive your award, you must apply to graduate. It
is your responsibility to make sure you submit your application
before the appropriate deadline.
There are three graduation options. You can choose to graduate
either:
In Person - have your parchment presented to you in person at
the Graduation Ceremony (deadline is 1st March each year); or
In Absentia - graduate at the Graduation Ceremony without
attending. Your parchment will be posted to you (deadline is
1st March each year); or
In Council - the University Council Meetings provide an
opportunity for students to graduate without attending a
graduation ceremony. Students are sent their parchment in
the post after the meeting date. Note: you do not attend this
meeting. Contact the Graduation Office for these deadlines.
Complaints/Issues
If you feel you have been inconvenienced or adversely affected
through:
Incorrec t or inadequate inf ormat ion f rom Student
Administrat ion in connect ion with test s, exams, or
graduation entitlement, or
The administration or supervision of tests and exams.
You may wish to discuss the matter with the Director, Student
Administration.
Any formal complaint will be acknowledged in writing and,
wherever possible, the outcome of the complaint will be finalised
within 15 working days.
PAGE 199 PAGE 199
To be eligible for aegrotat consideration the following
conditions must be satisfied:
1. You must be enrolled for the course(s) in question.
2. You must have repor ted the illness, injur y or other
circumstances on the aegrotat application form accompanied
by relevant documentation and lodged the form not later
than 48 hours after the last examination affected.
Note: If an applicant satisfies the Academic Board that it was
beyond his or her control to comply with this requirement, a
late application may be considered, provided that it has been
submitted at the earliest subsequent opportunity and before the
publication of the examination results. Requests for permission
to submit late applications must be made in writing to the
Convenor, Academic Administration Committee.
Application made due to illness or injury
As soon as practicable after the illness or injury, you must
consult a registered medical or dental practitioner or other
professional person able to attest to the circumstances of the
application. This consultation must have taken place, wherever
possible, before the examination(s) or otherwise within
24 hours of the examination(s). Hand the aegrotat application
form to the practitioner or professional person you consult. He or
she will then be expected to provide a report on your condition.
The report must include the following information:
That the practitioner examined you and on what date
Evidence that, in the practitioners opinion you were unable,
through illness or injury to sit the examination(s) or, if
you did take the examination, the extent to which, in the
practitioners opinion, your illness or injury was likely to have
impaired your performance in the examination(s)
Sufficient detail of the illness or injury to show clearly that
you were not responsible for your disability
The nature of the illness or injury set out in sufficient detail
and in a form suitable for submission to a qualified referee
The period over which your performance has been affected.
A report that fails to comply with these requirements may not
be accepted.
You leave the application form with the practitioner or
professional person. He or she will be responsible for filling
in the details above and forwarding it to Lincoln Universitys
medical aegrotat referee for returning it to the University.
Application made due to critical non-medical grounds or
other circumstances beyond a candidates control
As soon as practicable after the critical circumstances, you must
lodge a non-medical aegrotat application form at the Registry.
Where the application relates to bereavement, an act of God or
other exceptional circumstances, beyond your control, your
application form must be submitted to the Registry within 48
hours of the last affected examination.
The application needs to contain your account of the nature of
the circumstances and how they affected you.
The application should include evidence of the circumstances
described in the application or a statement from an independent
person able to attest to the circumstances described in the
application. It should indicate the period over which your
performance has been affected and it should be in a form suitable
for submission to a qualified referee.
Where the application relates to grief, distress or trauma, the
report should include a statement from a counsellor, medical
practitioner or other professional person and must include the
following information:
That the practitioner interviewed you and on what date
Evidence that, in the practitioners opinion, you were unable,
through grief, distress or trauma to sit the examination(s)
or the extent to which, in the practitioners opinion, your
grief, distress or trauma was likely to have impaired your
performance in the examination(s)
The nature of the circumstances leading to grief, distress or
trauma set out in sufficient detail and in a form suitable for
submission to a referee
The period over which your performance has been affected.
This consultation should have taken place, if possible, before
the examination(s) or, if not, within 24 hours of the affected
examination(s).
For an application made due to misadventure, oversight or
mechanical failure:
As soon as practicable after the examination affected by
the application, you must submit an aegrotat application
form containing an account of the circumstances that led to
the application, including a statement from an independent
person able to attest to the circumstances described in the
application.
Referees
All examination aegrotat applications are submitted to a referee.
This is an independent person who looks at the circumstances
set out on your application and decides if aegrotat consideration
is justified or not.
In some circumstances the referee may ask you to provide
further information.
If your aegrotat application is found to be unjustified, then
you will be informed of this by letter, and no adjustment will
be made to the mark or grade you earned in the examination.
Only if your application is found to be justified, will any
consideration be given to assessing your performance in light
of the aegrotat circumstances.
In the case of an examination which you sat and in which
you consider your performance to have been impaired, the
aegrotat referee rules on whether the degree of impairment
is mild, moderate or severe.
Aegrotat Application
APPENDIX 2
There is one referee for all medical aegrotats and one for
non-medical aegrotats. This ensures that we apply consistent
standards in deciding whether to give aegrotat assessment.
How do I apply?
To apply for an aegrotat you must complete the aegrotat
application form. These forms are available from Student
Administration or on the Lean@Lincoln website under Academic
Regulations and Procedures.
The information collected in an aegrotat form is required by the
University in order to assess whether aegrotat consideration for
the tests or examinations covered by this application is justified
and, if so, the extent of consideration that should be given.
There are four types of aegrotat forms:
Examination Medical
Test Medical
Examination Non-Medical
Test Non-Medical
Each form provides an area to differentiate between tests/
examinations that have been sat (and where you consider your
performance was impaired) and those that have been missed.
Please remember to use each section appropriately as an error
may hinder or invalidate your application.
What does an aegrotat application achieve?
Examinations
If your aegrotat application has been found to be justified you
may be granted:
An ungraded pass, i.e. Aegrotat Pass, shown on your transcript
as AP
An ungraded fail, i.e. Aegrotat Fail, shown on your transcript
as AF
A passing grade, for example Aegrotat C+, shown on your
transcript as AC+
A failing grade, for example Aegrotat D, shown on your
transcript as AD
A passing mark and grade
A failing mark and grade
The opportunity to sit a further examination (please note that
this requires Academic Administration Committee approval)
No change (i.e. your original mark and grade remain)
No recommendation, shown on your transcript as NR (i.e.
there is insufficient evidence for the University to determine
what you would have obtained in the absence of the aegrotat
circumstances)
A deferment till further evidence is available.
If the application is based on misadventure, oversight or
mechanical failure, then the possible outcomes are restricted to:
An ungraded pass or an ungraded fail (AP or AF)
The opportunity to sit a further examination
No change
No recommendation (NR).
Note:
In the case of an application for an aegrotat based on
misadventure, oversight, mechanical failure or similar
circumstances.
(i) Permission to sit a further examination will be granted
only where the examiner has been unable to make an aegrotat
assessment and where your class work gives the Academic
Board reasonable grounds to think that you will be successful.
The result of any further examination offered as a result of a
successful application will be recorded as pass, or fail.
(ii) An aegrotat pass will be awarded only in cases where your
work before the examination concerned has been considerably
above pass level. No candidate shall be permitted to be awarded
an ungraded pass on more than one occasion during the course
of his or her enrolment at Lincoln University.
Tests
If you apply for aegrotat assessment in a test, the Dean has the
discretion to make whatever provision may be appropriate for
you. This may include specifying alternative work which may be
required to be submitted before a grade is awarded. The Dean
will make this assessment in consultation with the examiner of
the course.
Appeals
An appeal procedure exists if you are dissatisfied with the
outcome of your aegrotat applications.
To appeal an aegrotat decision you must write to the Assistant
Vice-Chancellor (Academic), outlining the circumstances and
basis of your appeal. The outcome of an appeal is determined by
the Academic Administration Committee and you will be advised
in writing of the Committees decision. There is no charge for
lodging an appeal.
The status of examination rules and examination
supervisors
Examination supervisors are appointed by Lincoln University
to oversee the conduct of examinations in the terms of the
regulations of the University and these rules.
Students undertaking examinations are expected to follow the
instructions of examination supervisors at all times. Breaches
of these rules, unacceptable behaviour in an examination venue
and failure to follow the instructions of supervisors, are treated
as serious breaches of discipline and will be referred for action
to the University Proctor.
The Discipline Regulations provide for fines and other penalties
in the case of failure to follow instructions.
The Discipline Regulations are set out in the Lincoln University
APPENDIX 3
Examination Rules
PAGE 201 PAGE 201
Calendar. Dishonest practice and breach of instructions in
relation to examinations is regarded as misconduct in the terms
of the Discipline Regulations.
Examination rules are detailed in the Examination Timetable
published before each examination session. They are also
available on the Learn@Lincoln website under Timetable and
Dates. It is your responsibility to be familiar with these rules.
Dishonest practice
Cheating or any other dishonest practice in examinations cannot
and will not be tolerated. Dishonest practice attracts severe
penalties, including heavy fines, denial of credit and suspension
or exclusion from the University. Cheating is a serious offence.
It is not worth the risk.
Examination session times
Morning examination sessions start at 9.05 am
Afternoon examination sessions start at 1.20 pm
You may only enter an examination room when directed by a
supervisor. This will normally occur fifteen minutes before the
scheduled start time for the examination.
Reading time
Ten minutes reading time is provided before the scheduled start
time for the examination. You are strongly advised to use this
time to read the examination paper carefully and complete any
administrative tasks. However, you are permitted to begin the
examination during this time.
Identification checks
You must display your student identity card on your desk
throughout the examination, in order to provide proof of your
identity. These cards must be placed on the desk at the start of
the examination.
Late arrival
If you arrive more than 45 minutes after the scheduled start
time of an examination, you will not be allowed to enter the
examination room. If this occurs, you should report on arrival at
the University to the Examinations Office, Ground Floor, George
Forbes Building.
Early departure
You will not be permitted to submit your script and leave an
examination room until at least 60 minutes has elapsed from the
time the writing of the examination began. Permission to submit
a script and depart early is at the discretion of the supervisor.
You will not be permitted to submit your script and leave an
examination room in the last 15 minutes of the scheduled time
for the examination.
Calculators
Only electronic calculators of the Casio Fx and Sharp EL non-
programmable range, or non-programmable calculators that
perform only basic mathematical functions are permitted in all
examinations unless explicitly banned by the examiner.
It is your responsibility to maintain the operation and operating
power of your calculator. No responsibility can be accepted by
the University for failure or diminished performance attributable
to calculator malfunction. The University does not provide spare
calculators.
Calculator cases and instruction books may not be brought into
the examination room.
Dictionaries
Dictionaries may not be used by you in examinations. The only
exception to this is in the case of Ma
-
ori Language courses.
Examination papers
The University has strict procedures on the handling of
examination papers to ensure that they are kept absolutely
secure until the examination session in which the paper is
taken. It is a serious breach of discipline to make any attempt
to interfere with those procedures or to make any attempt to
view an examination paper or a draft of an examination paper
in advance of the time at which the paper is taken.
Answer book instructions
You must fill in clearly all spaces on the answer book cover
provided for names, student ID numbers and details of the
examination.
You are advised that it is in your interests to write legibly.
You must indicate the questions answered by inserting the
appropriate question numbers in the column provided on the
right of the cover of the examination answer book.
Rough work not intended for marking may be written at the back
of the answer book and on the inside covers of the answer book
and clearly crossed out. Where answer books are not supplied,
notes may be written on the blank sides of examination papers,
but must be clearly crossed out to distinguish them from work
to be marked.
Examination conduct
1. No book or written material or written matter or printed
material or printed matter may be brought into the
examination room, except when permitted by the examiner.
You may not enter an examination room with writing on your
hands or on any part of your body.
2. No blank paper may be brought into the examination room.
If you seek graph paper or additional answer sheets you may
request these from the examination supervisors. The use
of rough paper is prohibited.
3. You must supply your own writing and drawing equipment.
This must be carried in a clear plastic bag. This equipment
may be inspected by the supervisor. Pencil cases are not
permitted.
4. Cell phones may not be brought into examination rooms.

examination supervisor.
Note: Students are strongly advised not to bring valuables
with them to examinations as the University cannot
guarantee the security of bags left outside examination
rooms.
8. Smoking and eating are not permitted in examination
rooms.
9. You may bring into examination room drinking water
provided it is contained in a clear unlabelled bottle.
10. No script or portion of a script may be removed from an
examination room. Any script or portion of a script or
any paper removed from an examination room (whether
inadvertently or otherwise) will not be marked.
11. Unless otherwise specified, an examination answer must
be written in an official language of New Zealand. In most
cases, students will answer in English. In courses other
than those in Ma
-
ori Studies, students wishing to answer
in Ma
-
ori are asked to advise the Examinations Office three
weeks before the start of the examination session in order

Special grades
NC Not Complete
An NC Not Complete grade is awarded when you have not
completed a mandatory requirement for the course.
An NC grade may be awarded only if the course outline is explicit
in stating that the missed item is a mandatory component of the
course and that a pass cannot be awarded to a student who has
not completed the item. An NC grade stands for one calendar
year from the release of examination results, or until you have
retaken the missing component. Once the missing item has
been completed and a final mark is released it replaces the NC
on your record. If you do not complete this component within
one calendar year, the NC grade will be replaced by a fail grade.
An NC has the status of a fail grade.
IC Incomplete
IC indicates Incomplete meaning that there is still work not
submitted (for acceptable reasons) that will contribute to the
assessment in the course. You have four calendar months from
the release of examination results to complete the outstanding
item. A final grade will be released once all of the work is
submitted and marked. If the missing work is not completed
by the due date, the examiner will submit a grade, counting as
zero the missing work.
CC Course Complete
CC indicates that you have completed the first semester of a
full-year course.
IP In Progress
The result is not due in the current teaching session.
RP Result Pending
RP indicates Result Pending, meaning that there is still work
that has been submitted but not marked that will contribute to
the assessment in the course. Used for postgraduate courses.
MP Mark Pending
MP indicates Mark Pending, meaning that there is still work
that has been submitted but not marked that will contribute to
the assessment in the course. Used for undergraduate courses.
DNS Did Not Sit
This grade is awarded when:
You are validly registered, and
You have not taken the final examination (see Aegrotat Grades
on page 200).
If you complete a formal complete withdrawal outside of the
allowed withdrawal date in the semester, a DNS will be awarded,
even in courses with no final examination.
WDN Withdrawn
This grade is awarded when you formally withdraw from a course
after the second week (third week for masters students) of the
semester but before the final date for course withdrawals. The
critical factor in deciding if a WDN may be given is the Registry
record of the date of the withdrawal.
