  1. Satisfy the requirements for entry to a university in NZ
    University Entrance is the minimum requirement for entry to a New Zealand university.  Once you have met the requirements for University Entrance it will appear on your Record of Achievement.  This is the most common pathway for NZ secondary school applicants.
  2. Previous tertiary study
    If you have studied overseas or at another New Zealand tertiary institution the College will consider your admission based on you previous academic performance.
  3. Special Admission
    Special admission is a way to be considered for entrance if you are a New Zealand or Australian citizen or permanent resident, are 21 years or over on the first day of the semester, but don’t have a formal university entrance qualification.
