    At noho the student must sign the attendance sheet against their name morning and afternoon for each day of the noho.

  • The New Zealand Qualifications Authority manage the New Zealand Record of Achievement (NZROA). An NZROA is an official transcript of all the New Zealand qualifications and standards, secondary and tertiary, that a graduate has achieved as reported by NZQA-accredited organisations.  All Te Wānanga o Raukawa qualifications are NZQA approved.

     

    How long does it take for a qualification to appear on an ROA. 

    Unfortunately, qualifications achieved do not appear on an ROA immediately. It can take NZQA anything from 12 -24 months to update an individual NZROA. (The reason is because of reporting times between organisations but that is probably too much information)

     

    What evidence can I use to prove I have achieved a qualification?

     

    1. Graduates can use their Te Wānanga o Raukawa Academic Record and Graduation Certificate as proof of the achievement of a qualification as they wait for NZQA to update their NZROA. Most graduates choose this option. 

    2. Graduates can request Te Wānanga o Raukawa to access their NZROA through the NZQA database. The cost to the graduate for Te Wānanga o Raukawa to access the NZROA database is $5.10 per qualification.

    For more information on the NZROA follow the link https://www.nzqa.govt.nz/qualifications-standards/results-2/record-of-achievement/

  • Using the knowledge and information of others without their permission or acknowledgement is unacceptable, a breach of Te Kawa o Te Ako and not in keeping with our kaupapa. Where this is detected, the person concerned will be asked to make themselves available for an interview with the relevant Kaihautū where the matter will be fully discussed and any action taken will be decided on an individual basis.

    • passport or birth/marriage certificate

    • what course you want to study

    • what level your course is (certificate, diploma, degree, masters)

    • If the name you are enrolling under has changed from what it is on your birth certificate or passport you will also need to provide evidence of this, such as a marriage certificate.

    • If not New Zealand born you will need to provide evidence of New Zealand residency or citizenship.

  5. Applicants 17 years and under will require a parent or guardian signature on the student declaration and will be considered a special application.

This is yours to use while you study at Te Wānanga o Raukawa. Your Office 365 account provides you with a student email address, access to Microsoft Word, Excel and other handy applications. You can also log in to Mūrau, our online learning environment, with your Office 365 account to access your course materials.

​

Please note: an application submitted does not automatically mean acceptance into a programme, suitability is determined after completing academic kōrero by the relevant academic whare. This could happen before or after your enrolment is confirmed and all documentation is received.
