Most years we would have been letting you know of our summer Catch Up College details and the other tertiary pathway options that Hagley offers. This year, Covid-19 and alert level restrictions have complicated things.

Catch Up College January Intensive

Currently we hope to be able to offer our Catch Up College Intensive with face-to-face teaching from mid January for students needing 6-8 credits for UE tertiary entry requirements. However, our ability to offer this programme for 2022 depends on the timing of results being released, and NZQA has not been able to set a timeline for results at this stage.

In the meantime, we are directing enquiries to Te Kura Summer School | Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu who are opening their online programme for up to 12 NCEA credits early (from November 8th) in recognition of this year’s disruptions.

Longer-term Catch Up

For students who require more than 6-8 credits we are able to offer enrolments in our Senior College with individualised programmes, with options of part-time study either for the full year or aiming for semester two tertiary course entry: Hagley Senior College - Hagley College

Certificate in University Preparation (CUP)

The University of Canterbury’s CUP is a full-time, one semester, non-NCEA pathway to study at university. Enrolments are through the UC website: Certificate in University Preparation | University of Canterbury | University of Canterbury

While Hagley College no longer delivers the Academic Writing and Study Skills (TRNS001) course at UC as part of the CUP certificate, we are able to offer a semesterised Academic Writing and Study Skills course at Hagley College with UC credit transfer for TRNS001. This means that students could opt to do this paper (TRNS001) with us and to complete the full certificate at UC at a later date.
