The New Zealand Defence Force ID was originally included in 2023 as an identification method for verifying a learner's identity and their eligibility as a valid domestic enrolment. However, following further advice from the New Zealand Defence Force, we will no longer accept the ID as a valid identification method and have removed it from the 2023 Funding Conditions Catalogue.

Guidance on additional funding and applications for new funding

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we may be unable to assess requests for in-year 2020 additional funding within normal timeframes.

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our economy and the tertiary education sector. As a response to the changed environment we will be taking into consideration whether new 2020 in-year additional funding requests:

• could be met within a provider’s current 2020 funding allocation, and;
• meet urgent needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic , and/or support the key strategic priorities of the government.

If you have any questions about submitting an additional funding request, please contact your relationship manager, or the Customer Contact Group on 0800 601 301 or email customerservice@tec.govt.nz.
