Student Services Fee
The Student Services Fee (SSF) covers the provision of a broad range of campus services to students. The fee is allocated to the following services, in consultation with students via the Student/Management Forum:
- 52% - Counselling services and pastoral care (student orientation, Student Support and Raise EAP)
- 18% - Employment and careers information, advice and guidance (Student Support and HR)
- 20% - Sports, recreation and cultural activities (gym, sports teams and cultural events)
- 6% - Students’ associations and clubs (Student Council, student forums, alumni and whanau events)
- 2% - Financial support and advice
- 2% - Health Services
The SSF is charged at a rate of $300.00 per year, or $30.00 per month or part thereof. In 2025, the SSF covered 90% of the direct costs of these services, with the remaining 10% being subsidised by AIS.
The Student/Management Forum, comprising student representatives from each programme, meets once a trimester to provide input on non-academic matters including consultation on the SSF. 2026 forum timings are 2.30 pm on 13 March, 17 July and 16 October. Students are invited to contact studentservices@ais.ac.nz, Student Support Manager, to register their interest in attending the forum, or to provide input.
