7WMS Student Guide
What is expected of me as a student?University study requires that you take charge of your own learning - prepare and participate.
Staff are here to impart information, provide guidance and support, and challenge you to rise to higher levels of achievement.
You’re expected to:
• Review the set readings and any other specified materials.
• Attend all lectures and workshops, and take notes about the content.
• Complete, and correctly submit, all of your assessments on time.
• Check your emails daily and access Moodle frequently to be aware of updates and other information sent by staff.
• Manage your time effectively to ensure you meet your commitments in all courses.
What does the paper code mean?Every paper offered at Waikato has a code, showing the subject, level of study, semester of study and teaching location.
Example: STMGT101-19A(HAM) Introduction to Management
STMGT – subject (in this case Strategic Management)
101 – shows a 100-level paper
19A – A Semester 2019
HAM – shows the teaching location is the Hamilton campus.
How does the University timetable work?University classes typically run for 50 minutes. Some papers have two-hour lectures, streams or tutorials; often with a short 10 minute break.
Morning classes (8:00am – 12 noon) start on the hour.
Afternoon classes (from 1:10pm) start at 10 minutes past the hour.
Cultural hour is every Wednesday 1:00pm – 2:00pm, and is a time free of lectures and tutorials so clubs and societies can meet, and other University activities can be held.
How do I change my enrolment?You can change your enrolment by logging into mywaikato.ac.nz. Go to ‘Qualifications and Papers’, and select ‘Change of Enrolment’.
Typically you have until 5:00pm on the second Friday of A and B semesters and 5:00pm on the first Friday of T and S semesters to change your papers.
More information for changing the papers you’re enrolled in, deleting papers (with a refund of the prescribed fees) or withdrawing from papers (without a refund) are found in the Change of Enrolment Regulations calendar.waikato.ac.nz/admission/changeofenrolment.html
Frequently Asked Questions
8 Waikato Management School
Which papers should I select?All management qualifications have a degree planner document which gives you an idea of the papers you’ll need to take at each level to complete your qualification. Undergraduate degree planners can be found at your student centre or online at management.ac.nz/qualifications.
When trying to decide on which papers you should:
• Look at the core papers for the qualification
• Look at the compulsory papers for the major(s) you have selected.
• Check when the papers are offered (i.e. which semester).
• Make sure your paper points for A and B semesters add up to a maximum of 60 points for each semester.
• Make sure you have met the prerequisites for enrolling in your chosen papers.
• Check the online timetable for any clashes. Be aware that timetable clashes of 2 hours or more may not be approved.
• Full-time study is considered equivalent to 120 points (i.e. 60 points or four papers per semester in A and B semesters).
• Check you have met any progression rules.
Progression rules
You must pass at least 60 points (four papers)at level 100 before enrolling in any level 200 papers, and at least 180 points, including 60 points at level 200, before enrolling in level 300 papers.
How do I enrol in tutorials? Enrol in tutorials through Moodle.
1. Log on to Moodle at elearn.waikato.ac.nz
2. Click on the paper name
3. Click on the ‘Sign up for your tutorial’ option
4. Click on the button next to the tutorial time you want
5. Then click ‘Save my choice’ at the bottom of the screen

9WMS Student Guide
What if I don’t know which subject(s) I want to major in yet?Don’t stress – you don’t need to make this decision yet. If you’re unsure on what you’d like to major in, you can decide after you’ve tried a range of subjects in your first year.
I am doing a conjoint degree – what is the best way to plan my papers?Usually a conjoint degree (e.g. Bachelor of Business / Bachelor of Laws) is looked after by two faculties. Please contact both faculties to see what compulsory papers you need to complete in your first year.
Most of the business fundamental level 100 Management School papers are offered in both A and B semesters and possibly over summer school. This means you should choose your non-management papers first, and then add your management papers second.
TIP: If you have timetable clashes, you can usually swap the management papers to the other semester to avoid the clash.
What scholarship opportunities are there for me?A scholarship can open up a world of opportunities for you, no matter what stage of study you’re at. Whether you’re looking for support with study, fees or accommodation, Waikato has lots of options available to help set you up for the future.
Apply for some of the scholarships on offer by visiting waikato.ac.nz/scholarships

11WMS Student Guide
What is plagiarism and what should I know about it?Plagiarism is presenting academic work which is the work of someone else as your own. Plagiarism is a serious offence and disciplinary action will be taken against those students who submit work that is not their own. This may include not referencing your work, or having work that is unusually similar to your classmate or a previous student.
Your assignment once submitted online is run through a plagiarism software tool called Turnitin, which easily identifies any similarities between your assignments, and published materials and other student assignments. Student Learning can help you with referencing to avoid plagiarism.
What is the Employment Skills Module and do I have to do it?Management Students who are enrolled in an undergraduate degree are required to complete the Employment Skills Module (ESM). The module covers the topics of planning your career, CV and cover letter writing, interviewing skills, and your employment rights and obligations.
Check the regulations for your specific qualification to see whether you’ll be required to complete the module in order to graduate.
What’s a completion check?If you’re in your final year of study, the Management Student Centre can undertake a completion check to ensure you’ve met all the requirements to graduate. All you need to do is email [email protected] with your student ID number and add ‘Completion check’ in the subject line.
Where can I go for assistance within the University?For many students, the transition to university can be a time of increased freedom but also new responsibilities.

• Accommodation services
