Study support and resources

Studying by distance learning doesn't mean you'll be on your own. We’ll be with you every step of the way to support, mentor and assist you with your studies and study planning.

With Open Polytechnic you can study online, where you want and when you want, and create a distance learning experience to suit your lifestyle. 

Our online library is available 24/7 and is free, convenient and easy to use. As well as a distance lending service, with free and fast delivery, you can access resources online, including guides on how to look for information and information on study techniques. 

At Open Polytechnic, our students are the most important thing. We have a range of study support services to help our Māori students succeed and ensure you are not alone in your study journey

It’s natural to feel excitement, as well as a niggle of anxiety when you make the decision to study. We want you to know that support is at hand, whatever stage you are in your study journey

Distance learning offers flexibility that can be ideal if you have a disability, health condition, mental illness, or specific learning needs.
