Agent actions

This page serves as a guide for agents to perform the following actions:



Changing or nominating a new agent

Complete the relevant form and email to international@vuw.ac.nz or directly to your recruitment manager.

  • Complete the Agent Nomination form if a student that is currently not represented by an agency wants to nominate you to act as their agent.
  • Complete the Change of Agent form if a student already represented by another agency wants to nominate you to act as their new agent.

In the case that a student changes representatives or nominates a representative after an application has been submitted, a service fee (no further commission) will be paid to recognise the support services to the student’s application. The decision whether a representative nomination/change is accepted sits solely with the international office at Victoria University of Wellington.
