Results you can download or order from the MyNZQA learner portal

You can access, download and order paper copies of your results online in the MyNZQA learner portal, including your:

  • New Zealand Record of Achievement (NZRoA)
  • National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA) certificates
  • University Entrance (UE) certificate.

Accessing your NCEA results

You're entitled to 1 free paper copy of your NZRoA, UE and NCEA at each level, if you had results reported to NZQA the previous year. Extra paper copies cost $15.30 each.

Be careful of when you order results

Your results are updated regularly, so we recommend thinking carefully about what copies of your documents you order and when. There may be charges for additional copies.

If you're applying for a review or reconsideration

If you're applying for a review or reconsideration, don't order your result documents until the review or reconsideration is complete.

If you've applied for a review or reconsideration to find out if you gained University Entrance, let your chosen university know. It can take up to 6 weeks for your updated results to become available.

Who can view your results?

All the details shown on your entries and results page in MyNZQA and on your Record of Achievement are sent to your school automatically.

New Zealand universities can access your records. If you don’t want to allow universities access, please contact your secondary provider and ask them to update your tertiary release indicator.

If you have left school, please contact our Data Management and Learner Records team:

Studying overseas and your results

If you're planning to study at an overseas tertiary institution, contact the institution as early as possible to find out what results information you need to provide.

Australian universities will contact NZQA directly to obtain your results.

Not that you can't apply for overseas admission from the learner portal. You'll need to download your results and send them.

Overseas Results Notice (ORN)

If you're an international fee-paying student, you can download your overseas results notice, or ORN from the Order documents section of the portal. The ORN contains a summary of credits by subject in PDF format.

Grade Point Average (GPA) estimates for international universities

If the tertiary institution you're planning to study at does not directly recognise NCEA results, NZQA may be able to provide an estimate of your overall and subject performance in the form of a GPA letter. This is subject to there being sufficient credits assessed during the year.

For more information about the GPA process contact Psychometrics, Reporting and Statistics (PRS):

Email PRS

Offers of places at universities are entirely at the universities' discretion.

Document certification

If the tertiary institution to which you're applying needs authentication of your NZQA result notices, refer to the Department of Internal Affairs website for information about this.

Some institutions also require the secondary school to authenticate these documents or provide a school leaving letter or certificate.
