2012-2013 University Entrance Literacy requirements
The literacy requirement for university entrance can be fulfilled in either English or Te Reo Māori and Te Reo Rangatira, but not a combination of both:
- 4 credits at Level 2 or higher are required in Reading
- 4 credits at Level 2 or higher are required in Writing.
Notes:
- Where standards count for either Reading or Writing, an individual student may not count credits for both Reading and Writing. Nevertheless, it is possible to split a standard to satisfy the requirement for at least 4 credits in Reading and at least 4 credits in Writing. For example, a student would fulfil the literacy requirement by achieving standards 90721, 90722, and 90723.
- The following will be recognised for the Waikato Certificate of Studies, English:
- Certificate of Studies (CS) 2.1 and 3.1 can count for the university entrance Writing requirement.
- Certificate of Studies (CS) 2.2 or 2.2 (i) and 3.2 can count for the Reading requirement.
