Instructions for making online applications
Online applications will be available from 1 November 2011. Applications can be lodged by completing the following:
- Login to the school’s web pages on the NZQA website.
- Select Process Derived Grade Applications from the high-security area menu.
- Search for the candidate by surname/first names or National Student Number (NSN), and select the candidate from the list.
- Enter the reason, with details, for the derived grade application and enter confirmation of available evidence supporting the application.
- Once this has been confirmed, the sessions which a candidate has entered will be activated.
- Click on the session name that the application relates to and the standards the candidate has entered for that examination session will be displayed.
- Enter a derived grade based on pre-existing standard-specific evidence for each standard for which a derived grade is being sought. No derived grade is possible if the school holds no standard-specific evidence.
- Click the “Submit” button to save the application and return to the candidate application screen.
- You may hit the “Cancel” link at any stage. However, any application information entered will not be saved.
- Print out the Derived Grade listings when online applications are complete.
Your assistance in submitting these applications as quickly as possible is appreciated.
