You may have read or heard about changes the Ministry of Education have made to NCEA this year to recognise the disruption COVID and other illnesses have had on student learning.

Learning Recognition Credits

In 2022, students will be entitled to 1 Learning Recognition Credit (LRC) for every 5 credits earned through their normal assessments, up to a maximum of 10 credits for Level 1, 8 credits for Level 2 and 8 credits for Level 3.

Certificate Endorsements

To receive a Certificate Endorsement, students will need 46 credits at Merit or Excellence level, instead of the usual 50.

University Entrance

Usually students need to gain 14 credits in 3 approved subjects, along with Level 3 literacy and numeracy requirements, to gain a university entrance qualification. In 2022 students will need 14 credits in each of two UE Approved Subjects, and 12 credits in a third UE Approved Subject (the requirements for literacy and numeracy remain the same as in previous years).
