✨ Enrolment Policy and Criteria
NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 93 — 31 AUGUST 2015
Access
Adult
Adult students may be enrolled for a tuition Government administration fee (excluding students enrolled by the funded Department of Corrections).
An adult, for the purposes of enrolment at Te Kura, is:
(a) turning 20 years of age or older during the year of enrolment; and
(b) not attending a school full-time.
The primary purpose of enabling adult students to enrol in secondary schooling at Te Kura is to provide foundation skills or "second chance" education. That is, individuals are afforded the opportunity to gain NCEA qualifications that they did not gain when they first attended secondary school as a regular student.
The course of study in which the adult student is enrolled must assist the student to reach the following minimum goals:
- an NZQA qualification; and
- NCEA Level 1.
Students enrolled under this gateway may remain enrolled until all assessments for the courses for which they are enrolled are complete or until the end of the calendar year in which they were enrolled, whichever is the sooner.
Section 3—Year 1-15 Full-time Students
General
The purpose of the full-time enrolment gateways is to provide equity of access to compulsory education for students whose location, itinerancy, educational or personal circumstances prevent attendance at a reasonably convenient school.
Students meeting the entry criteria for the access or international category gateways can self-refer to Te Kura. Full-time enrolments through the referral category gateways must be made through the designated agency.
Eligibility to enrol
Students aged 5–19, or in Years 1–15, may be enrolled in a full-time primary or secondary programme at Te Kura where they meet the entry criteria for one of the enrolment gateways identified.
Except for the gateways for non-enrolled students, and for expelled or excluded students, eligibility ceases when changed circumstances mean that the entry criteria for the gateway concerned no longer apply. Year 11–15 students whose circumstances change during term 3 or later may stay enrolled until the end of the school year in question.
Requirements
Unless otherwise stated:
a. the minimum period of enrolment is one term;
b. the student’s continued enrolment is subject to meeting Te Kura’s engagement and tuition requirements;
c. all enrolments must be reviewed by Te Kura on an annual basis or as otherwise specified for a specific category;
d. the student must be resident in New Zealand; and
e. the student must be a domestic student(^5).
