Tertiary education organisations (TEOs) can charge students a student services fee to help fund the costs of services and facilities that support students and enhance their academic experience. This page explains requirements and conditions for student services fees.
Tertiary education organisations (TEOs) can charge students a student services fee to help fund the costs of services and facilities that support students and enhance their academic experience. This page explains requirements and conditions for student services fees.

There are requirements on how student services fees are set and used, which are intended to:  
make sure providers are transparent in setting and administering student services fees
ensure students are involved in decision-making when setting student services fees
set clear limits on what services can be funded through the fee. 
Conditions on charging student services fees
The Minister responsible for tertiary education prescribes requirements for TEOs that charge student services fees through funding mechanisms and delegations. The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) then administers these by placing conditions on the funding it allocates to TEOs.
Providers that charge a student services fee to students, and are funded by the TEC, need to comply with all requirements on student services fees. These requirements are set out in the funding mechanisms and are reflected in funding conditions for each year.
The areas of compliance regarding student services fees cover:
which students can be charged a compulsory fee for student services – from 2023, apprentices and trainees must be able to opt in to paying for and accessing student services
student involvement – providers must establish arrangements so decisions on student services fees can be made jointly or in consultation with students, including:

the amount charged (including the charges for different categories of students)
the services offered and who delivers them

categories of student services – the permitted categories of student services that the fee can support
accounting for student services fees – all income and expenditure associated with student services fees must be either held in a separate bank account, or separately accounted for within existing accounts
annual reporting on student services fees – institutions must provide information on the fee in their annual reports, and private training enterprises (PTEs) must provide a written report on the fee to their students
publishing student services fee information online – student services fee information must be published on a provider’s website clearly and in an accessible location. This must include:

the amount charged (including the charges for different categories of students)
how the provider has involved students in decision-making, and
how students can be involved in future decisions.

More guidance on student services fees
We have published a student services fees guide to help providers that charge a student services fee to understand and comply with all relevant aspects of the funding conditions. This includes a more detailed breakdown of the requirements, including the categories of services, and examples of how to involve students in decision making.

Source: Tertiary Education Commission

Guidelines for Quality Evaluation 2026 published
We are pleased to announce the following guidelines are now available:
This completes the operational design phase of Quality Evaluation 2026 and is the culmination of two years’ work by the Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) Sector Reference Group (SRG).
The revised operational design of Quality Evaluation 2026 reflects Cabinet’s decisions on the PBRF following an independent review in 2019–20. Collectively, the changes recognise a broader understanding of research excellence and will make the outcomes of the assessment more equitable for all participants.
The TEC and the Co-Chairs thank the SRG for bringing their time, expertise and careful thought to this important mahi. We recognise the commitment, mātauranga and leadership that our Co-Chairs Professor Wiremu Doherty and Professor Wendy Larner have brought to the SRG and thank them for their service.
Professor Larner reflects, “The questions the SRG were asked to consider and consult on were at times complex and highly significant to the future of Aotearoa New Zealand’s research landscape. It’s been an honour to work with them to arrive at rigorous solutions that I believe will benefit the whole sector.”
Professor Doherty says, “Members of this group gifted an exceptional level of expertise and dedication to this process, and this created a foundation that will support improved outcomes for TEOs and staff members participating in Quality Evaluation 2026.”
TEC’s Deputy Chief Executive – Delivery, Gillian Dudgeon, adds, “As well as our SRG we also thank the TEOs, peak bodies, organisations, faculties, departments, and individuals that provided thoughtful feedback across the 12 consultation papers. Your engagement with the consultation process is critical for a robust and reliable outcome for TEOs and participating staff members. The Guidelines will support TEOs, panellists, and staff members participating in Quality Evaluation 2026 over the coming years.”  
TEO audit methodology confirmed
The Audit Methodology for PBRF Quality Evaluation 2026, developed by Deloitte, has also been published following public consultation. This supports the design changes made to the settings for Quality Evaluation 2026.
Staff Guidelines and Panel-Specific Guidelines
We will publish updated Staff Guidelines in mid-December 2023.
Consultation on the Panel-Specific Guidelines for Quality Evaluation 2026 closed on 10 November. Panels will consider this feedback and finalise their advice. We will publish the final Panel-Specific Guidelines in March 2024.
PBRF web page updates
With the publication of this information for Quality Evaluation 2026, we have updated the PBRF web pages and navigation structure.
This will make it easier to find relevant information and documents related to past and current fund information.

Performance-Based Research Fund

Source: Tertiary Education Commission

Te Pūkenga, private training establishments (PTEs), universities and wānanga can choose to participate.
The PBRF is an on-Plan fund.
Purpose
The Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) is designed to increase the quality of research by encouraging and rewarding excellent research in Aotearoa New Zealand’s degree-granting organisations. It does not fund specific research projects directly, but provides bulk funding to support an organisation’s research capability, including postgraduate-level teaching support.
Objectives
The primary objectives of the PBRF are to:
increase the quality of basic and applied research at Aotearoa New Zealand’s degree-granting TEOs;
support world-leading, research-led teaching and learning at degree and postgraduate levels;
assist Aotearoa New Zealand’s TEOs to maintain and lift their competitive rankings relative to their international peers;
provide robust public information to stakeholders about research performance within and across TEOs; and
support a robust and inclusive system for developing and sustaining research excellence in Aotearoa New Zealand.
In doing so, the PBRF will also:
support the development of postgraduate student researchers and new and emerging researchers;
support research activities that provide economic, social, cultural, and environmental benefits to Aotearoa New Zealand, including the advancement of Mātauranga Māori; and 
support technology and knowledge transfer to Aotearoa New Zealand businesses, iwi and communities.
Rewarding excellence
To meet these objectives, the main focus of the PBRF is on rewarding and encouraging excellence.
For the purposes of the Quality Evaluation, research excellence will be assessed in terms of originality, rigour, reach, and significance, with reference to the quality standards appropriate to the subject area and to the unique nature of Aotearoa New Zealand’s research cultures and needs.
Excellence will be assessed across the following areas of activity:
The production and creation of knowledge, including ontologies, epistemologies, and methodologies unique to Māori and to Pacific communities;
The dissemination and application of that knowledge within academic and/or other communities and its impact outside the research environment; and
Activity which sustains and develops the research environment, within and across both academic and non-academic domains. 
Guiding principles
The PBRF is governed by the following principles:
Partnership: the PBRF should reflect the bicultural nature of Aotearoa New Zealand and the special role and status of the Treaty of Waitangi / Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Equity: different approaches and resources are needed to ensure that the measurement of research excellence leads to equitable outcomes.
Inclusiveness: the PBRF should encourage and recognise the full diversity of epistemologies, knowledges and methodologies to reflect Aotearoa New Zealand’s people.
Comprehensiveness: the PBRF should appropriately measure the quality of the full range of original investigative activity that occurs within the sector, regardless of its type, form, or place of output. 
Respect for academic traditions: the PBRF should operate in a manner that is consistent with academic freedom and institutional autonomy. 
Consistency: evaluations of quality made through the PBRF should be consistent across the different subject areas and in the calibration of quality ratings against international standards of excellence. 
Continuity: changes to the PBRF process should only be made where they can bring demonstrable improvements that outweigh the cost of implementing them. 
Differentiation: the PBRF should allow stakeholders and the Government to differentiate between providers and their units on the basis of their relative quality. 
Credibility: the methodology, format and processes employed in the PBRF must be credible to those being assessed. 
Efficiency: administrative and compliance costs should be kept to the minimum, consistent with a robust and credible process. 
Transparency: decisions and decision-making processes must be explained openly, except where there is a need to preserve confidentiality and privacy. 
Complementarity: the PBRF should be integrated with new and existing policies, such as Investment Plans, and quality assurance systems for degrees and degree providers.
Background to the PBRF
In November 2001, the Tertiary Education Advisory Commission recommended the introduction of a performance-based research fund for tertiary education organisations (TEOs). 
The Performance-based Research Fund (PBRF) Working Group was established in July 2002. It advised government on the detailed design and implementation of a performance-based system for funding research in New Zealand’s degree-granting organisations.
Cabinet endorsed the PBRF Working Group’s recommendations in December 2002. These recommendations, which are the basis of the PBRF, are in the report Investing in Excellence (PDF 604 KB).
The origins of PBRF funding are in the funding provided to tertiary education organisations for teaching, specifically the portion they received as a “top-up” for teaching research degrees. These funds were not intended to fund research, but to enable tertiary education providers to provide research-based teaching. While the Government has invested additional money over time, most of the fund comes from these top-ups. 
How the fund works
The PBRF comprises three funding components:
The Quality Evaluation,
Research Degree Completions, and
External Research Income.
PBRF funding is paid through the Investment Plan. Delivery of the Plan is monitored by the TEC.

The Quality Evaluation is an assessment of the research performance of staff at eligible TEOs, including universities, Te Pūkenga, wānanga and private training establishments (PTEs). TEOs present their staff members’ research in Evidence Portfolios, which are assessed for quality by expert peer review panels. 
This component is used to allocate 55 percent of the PBRF funding pool, determined by the Government through its annual Budget.
The Quality Evaluation is held periodically. The next Quality Evaluation will be in 2026. 
There have been four previous Quality Evaluation rounds, in 2003, 2006, 2012 and 2018. For more information about these earlier rounds see Previous Quality Evaluation Rounds.

The Research Degree Completions component is a yearly measurement of the number of PBRF-eligible postgraduate research-based degrees completed at participating TEOs.
This component is used to allocate 25 percent of the fund.
For information on how RDC funding is calculated, see Detailed fund information – PBRF.

The External Research Income (ERI) component is a yearly measurement of the amount and type of income participating TEOs receive for research purposes from external sources.
This component is used to allocate 20 percent of the fund.
For information on how ERI funding is calculated, see Detailed fund information – PBRF.
ERI weighting
Following the 2019–20 review of the PBRF, the Government amended the weightings applied to the different types of ERI.
From 1 January 2022 ERI income is weighted by income source as follows. 

Source of external research income

Weighting

Aotearoa New Zealand government contestable funds

1

Aotearoa New Zealand public sector contract research

1

Non-government income from within Aotearoa New Zealand

4

Overseas research income

3.5

The new weightings on ERI income source apply to the 2022 ERI data that is reported in 2023 and will inform the calculation of TEOs’ PBRF funding allocations from the 2024 funding year onwards. By 2026, all of the ERI component will be allocated based on ERI weighted by source.
Any ERI data reported by TEOs for years prior to 2022 will continue to be weighted at the rates set out in the 2014 Funding Determination, as set out in the table below.

 Source of external research income

Weighting

Aotearoa New Zealand government contestable funds

1

Aotearoa New Zealand public sector contract research

1

Non-government income from within Aotearoa New Zealand

2

Overseas research income

1.5

Allocation of funding for ERI is based on each TEO’s proportion of the total ERI earned by all participating TEOs, weighted by funding source. 
For guidance on completing ERI returns, see the PBRF User Manual v5 (PDF 907 KB).

Review of the PBRF, 2019–2020
Cabinet announced changes to the PBRF in July 2021, after a review of the PBRF in 2019–2020.
The review examined how to support research excellence by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the PBRF. It aimed to ensure the benefits of research are shared across Aotearoa New Zealand.
For more information on the review, including the panel’s final report and Cabinet’s decisions on changes to the PBRF, see Performance-Based Research Fund – Ministry of Education.

Funding mechanism
The Minister responsible for tertiary education issues the Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) funding mechanism. The funding mechanism outlines the general form and essential components of the fund. It provides the mandate for us to allocate the funding and what the funding can be used for, and details how we administer the fund.
Funding requirements
Funding is agreed through a tertiary education organisation’s (TEO’s) Investment Plan (Plan).
A TEO that receives PBRF funding is required to:
Funding allocation
We use prior performance information to calculate an indicative allocation of PBRF funding for the next calendar year (PDF 731 KB).
The PBRF is a mixed performance-assessment regime that uses both peer review processes and performance measures.
We calculate PBRF allocations based on the performance of eligible TEOs in three components:
the latest Quality Evaluation;
the number of eligible Research Degree Completions; and
the value of External Research Income.
For more information on these components of the Fund, see Performance-Based Research Fund.
Quality Evaluation
The Quality Evaluation part of the funding allocation, which currently uses results from the 2018 round, is based on the award of funded Quality Categories and subject area weighting of Evidence Portfolios submitted by TEOs. It is calculated relative to:
the funded Quality Category assigned to Evidence Portfolios (EPs) – ie, A, B, C or C (NE);
the full-time equivalency status of the participating TEO’s PBRF-eligible staff member as recorded in the PBRF Staff Data File; and
the weighting for the subject area to which EPs have been assigned.
Note that for Quality Evaluation 2026 the funding calculation will include some new elements. For more information, please see the PBRF User Manual (PDF 907 KB).
Research Degree Completions
The Research Degree Completions part of the funding allocation is based on a three-year rolling average of a TEO’s research-based postgraduate degree completions, weighted by:
research volume,
relative costs of the subject areas,
ethnicity, and
completions in te reo Māori.
For the definitions and rules on measuring research degree completions, see Resources and publications – PBRF.
External Research Income (ERI)
The ERI part of the funding allocation is based on a three-year rolling average of a TEO’s proportion of total ERI earned, weighted by funding source.
Indicative allocations
Te Pūkenga’s allocation percentage is based on consolidation of the relevant year data for each of the three funding components for the Institute of Technology and Polytechnic (ITP) it replaces.
An indicative funding allocation may be made to a TEO that later transfers delivery to a transitional or other TEO. In that case, we will engage with the new TEO to transfer and adjust the allocation.
We will adjust the allocation of the provider receiving the largest portion of Research Degree Completions Funding if the final rounded calculations create an over-allocation of the annual funding of the PBRF. We will accept a small difference where funding is under-allocated due to rounded calculations.
For the methodology and technical specifications for calculating the PBRF indicative allocations, see Indicative allocations by year.
PBRF wash-up
For the methodology and technical specifications for the PBRF wash-up, see Funding wash-ups by year.

The governance of TEIs

Source: Tertiary Education Commission

TEI councils are responsible for the development and good governance of their organisation. They must balance upholding the autonomy and academic freedom of their organisation with being publicly accountable.
TEI councils are expected to take a strategic and leadership role in guiding their organisations to ensure they continue to improve their performance and are responsive to change and opportunity.
Effective councils provide clear strategic leadership and set and monitor the achievement of challenging targets. They have well-informed members with a good understanding of stakeholders and their institution’s strengths and areas for improvement. Effective councils challenge the management team about the institution’s performance as well as self-reviewing or reflecting on their own performance on a regular basis.
Being a council member is an opportunity for people with the right skills and experience to make a significant contribution to tertiary education in New Zealand and guide decision-making that will benefit not only the institution itself, but also its learners and the wider community.
Role of TEI councils

Payments and reporting – Fees Free

Source: Tertiary Education Commission

We make bulk payments to tertiary education organisations (TEOs) to cover the cost of Fees Free enrolments for each calendar year.
How allocations and payments work
For provider-based enrolments, at the start of each year, we use your TEO’s information from prior years to determine your indicative allocation for this calendar year. We create a payment schedule based on that allocation, which usually includes monthly payments. Throughout the year, we monitor your reported delivery. We make adjustment payments in-year as required, if your delivery is trending significantly higher or lower than your allocation for the calendar year.For work-based enrolments, we pay you each month based on the fees reported and validated for your work-based learners that calendar month.
At the end of each year, after we’ve received your final provider-based and work-based Fees Free returns, we complete a wash-up of all Fees Free allocations and make a final payment or recovery, so that your final allocation matches your delivery for the year.
Find out more about your allocations and payments
All information on your organisation’s allocations can be found in the My Allocations and Payments application in Ngā Kete:
My Allocations and Payments
2024 Fees Free allocations will be available from the end of November. To see how we calculated your 2024 allocation, read the 2024 methodology:

How to check learners’ eligibility for Fees Free
Eligibility statuses can change daily based on statutory declarations, eligibility appeals, and other information submitted to the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC). It’s important to check the eligibility status of your learners regularly, so that you can report eligible enrolments to us.
You can check learners’ eligibility status through the Fees Free website, Workspace 2, or by emailing us.
Checking learner eligibility on the Fees Free website
The Fees Free website, while mostly used by learners, can be used by TEOs to check a learner’s eligibility. The website is updated daily.
FeesFree.govt.nz
Checking learner eligibility on Workspace 2
On the home page of Workspace 2, there is a Shared Documents section. Here, you’ll find several Fees Free Eligibility CSV files that list all eligible learners (those with a “Yes” or “Starter” status) that have remaining Fees Free entitlement, for each calendar year. These are the learners you will need to report for Fees Free.
If a learner is not on this list, then:
they are ineligible for Fees Free, or
their status is ‘Unknown’, or
they are eligible but have already used their full entitlement in a previous year.
There is a different file for each calendar year. Please check a learner’s eligibility status for the year they started their study or training.
All files are updated daily.
Workspace 2
Checking learner eligibility by email
For large numbers of learners, you may wish to send a CSV file containing a list of National Student Numbers (NSNs) enrolled with your organisation in the current calendar year to customerservice@tec.govt.nz.
We’ll return this file to you with the learners’ eligibility statuses within two business days.
This file will allow us to give you the status of every learner enrolled with your TEO, whether the learner is eligible or not.
Reporting
As with other funds, you must report your Fees Free eligible enrolments to us so that we can monitor Fees Free entitlement use, and calculate the allocation due to you for each enrolled learner.
Reporting provider-based study
Each month, we provide you with a blank Fees Free All Enrolments and Costs template on Workspace 2, which you should use to report all your eligible Fees Free enrolments, to date, for the calendar year.We email the lead contact and the data return contacts for each TEO at the start of each reporting round. You can also find the dates of the reporting rounds in the TEC business calendar.When you submit your returns to us, we validate the information and send you two reports in return. One lets you know any errors we have found in your return (the Fees Free All Enrolments and Costs Data Validation report). The other tells you how much we intend to allocate to you for each learner you have reported to us (the Fees Free Multiple Providers and Cap Limit report).For guides to help you fill in and understand your reports, see Guidance – Fees Free.
If you have any questions, please contact your Relationship Manager or Advisor, or the Customer Contact Group on 0800 601 301 or customerservice@tec.govt.nz.
Reporting work-based training
Each month, we give you a blank Fees Free Programmes and Fees template on Workspace 2, which you use to report the fees you are charging for eligible learners in that month.
You also receive a Fees Free Schedule of Fees, which you need to fill in the first time you report to us. After that, you should only fill it in when you make changes. The Schedule of Fees is a complete list of fees that you charge to learners enrolled in eligible programmes. We used it to help us validate the information you submit in your Programmes and Fees return.
We email the lead contact and the data return contacts for each organisation at the beginning of each reporting round. You can also find the dates of the reporting rounds in the TEC business calendar.When you submit your returns to us, we validate the information and send you a Remittance. This lets you know any errors we have found in your return, and tells you how much we intend to allocate to you for each learner you have reported to us.For guides to help you fill in and understand your reports, see Guidance – Fees Free.
If you have any questions, please contact your Relationship Manager or Advisor, or the Customer Contact Group on 0800 601 301 or customerservice@tec.govt.nz.
