Notes
  • Aegrotat processes are not applicable to all programmes. In some situations an aegrotat may result in an assessed grade being issued. This will be indicated by an asterisk (*) before the grade.
  • Three asterisks (***) to the right of a grade indicate a result achieved in an external exam or at another institution. The result is reported for information only.
  • In some situations, a percentage mark may be issued instead of a grade.
  • Unit standard on NZQA Record of Learning will indicate an “A”
