   2. to be required to leave or be removed from New Zealand.
2. Where the holder of a student permit granted under U6.38 ceases their course of study at an institution with which the New Zealand Immigration Service has an arrangement concerning the grant of visas and permits for the length of a course of study and enrols in a course of study at an institution with which the New Zealand Immigration Service does not have such an arrangement the student permit (and associated visa) will be revoked.
