If you are a Māori or indigenous Pacific student, you may be required to verify your ancestry in eVision when applying for provisions, programmes, scholarships, or other benefits where ancestry verification is required.
Ancestry verification in eVision is only available for Māori and indigenous Pacific ancestries and, once recorded, can be used for future University processes.
Who is this available to
Māori and Pacific students
How do I verify it
You can request verification of your ancestry in eVision:
- Log in to eVision.
- Go to My details.
- Click the Request ancestry verification link.
- Follow the instructions on the page to request verification of your ancestry with the University.
If ancestry verification is required before you begin your studies, you need to arrange for this well in advance of the start of the academic year, so that you do not have to wait for your information to be confirmed before you can access resources and University websites. Depending on the circumstances of your ancestry verification request, you may be asked to provide additional documentation or there might be other aspects of this process that cause additional delays.
