Welcome
On behalf of the staff at Te Kupenga – Catholic Theological College (CTC), I would like to extend a warm welcome to all students to the 2024 academic year. I hope your time here is illuminating and challenging. I especially welcome our new students.

The second section covers the relevant student policies and procedures. The third section contains application forms for your use when you require them. The fourth section deals with help in studying and writing, giving the relevant reference systems and other study guidelines.
