For secondary school students, the ‘My School Entries and Results’ screen is updated with internal results as they become available during the year. External results are available online from late January.
Be careful of when you order results
As your results are updated regularly, we recommend carefully considering what copies of your documents you order and when. If you need more copies, there may be a charge.

Applying for a review or reconsideration and results
If you're going to apply for a review or reconsideration, don't order your result documents until the review or reconsideration process 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.
Results you can download or order from the learner portal
In the MyNZQA learner portal, you can download or order:
- New Zealand Record of Achievement (NZRoA)
- National Certificates of Educational Achievement (NCEA) and University Entrance (UE) Certificates
- School Results Summary.
You're entitled to one 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:

Who can view your results
All the details shown on your School Results Summary and New Zealand Record of Achievement are sent to your school automatically.
New Zealand universities can access your records if you've allowed your results to be released to tertiary institutions.
You can confirm this by checking in the 'My Enrolments' area of the learner portal. If 'Results to Tertiary Institutions' is yes, New Zealand universities have access to your results.

Contact Data Management and Learner Records if you wish to change if tertiary institutions can view your records.
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.
Additional information is available for Thai and German students here:

Grade Point Average (GPA) estimates for international universities
If the tertiary institution at which you're planning to study 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):
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.
