If you are an international student under 18 when you start at AUT, it is important you and your parents or legal guardian read the following information.
In line with the Code, if you are under 18 years old when you start your study, AUT requires that you live in one of the following accommodation options:
You may not live in any other type of accommodation while you are under 18 years of age.
Your parent/s or legal guardian/s must confirm that they will be residing in Auckland at least until you turn 18. Once we receive this, we may arrange to view the property and meet with your parents.
If you and your parents are interested in homestay accommodation contact either of the two organisations directly for assistance.

A designated caregiver must be a relative or a close family friend that your parent or legal guardian has designated to be your caregiver and accommodation provider. If your parents would like you to live with a designated caregiver, they must sign an indemnity document. Please contact the Student Hub and request an Indemnity Document for Students Living with a Designated Caregiver. We will send a form to your parents to complete and return to us.
Your designated caregiver must also sign an agreement. Once we receive the Indemnity Document signed by your parents, we will send the Designated Caregiver Agreement to the designated caregiver and arrange to view the property and meet the designated caregiver.

If we are concerned about your welfare or academic progress, we will send a report to your parents or legal guardian.
AUT abides by the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021. The Code sets out minimum standards of advice and care that you can expect and provides a procedure that you can follow if you have any concerns. Responsibility for pastoral care of international students under the Code is for the duration of enrolment.
