A guide to MVM enrolment for previous Massey students who are new to the MVM This guide has been prepared to streamline your Massey University enrolment. We recommend that the online enrolment process is followed. Most of the forms are straight-forward to complete but as the MVM papers are totally extramural our notes below may help clarify some aspects of the forms for you.
If you have any queries during the online enrolment process you can contact Massey by:
Phone: 0800 MASSEY or 0800 627 739 (if calling from within New Zealand)
+64 6 350 5701 (if calling from outside New Zealand)
Email: [email protected]
Step 1: Check admission requirements Before completing the forms please check you meet the admission requirements as outlined in Appendix 1. This is not required if your previous Massey degree is a veterinary degree.
Step 2: Collect the information you need about your papers and programme of study The second thing to do is choose and take note of the papers and programme you wish to study. You should consult the information available on the http://mvm.massey.ac.nz website on the papers and qualifications page. A short link to this page is:

The semester the paper is offered (eg: semester 2)
The programme or qualification you would like to enrol in. You need to choose something at the beginning but can change it later if you like. (eg: Master of Veterinary Medicine).
If you have chosen the MVM or PGDipVCS programmes you may wish to nominate an endorsement (eg: small animal surgery). You can choose or change this at a later date.
Check that you have your Massey ID and PIN. If you have lost or mislaid your previous PIN contact Massey at: https://enrolnow.mymassey.com/onlineenrolment/MUOEForgottenPin.aspx
Or, if you need to check any of your previous ID details contact Massey by phone at 0800 MASSEY (0800 627 739) or email on: [email protected] .
