Endorsements

Explains setting up endorseable courses for recording NCEA course endorsements, including bulk setup and the use of Virtual courses.

NCEA functionality is available for those assigned Group Leader, Subject Leader, Assessment Co-ordinator roles; and teacher roles access Student Summary pages for entering results for their own students.

Can I set up endorseable courses for recording NCEA course endorsements including bulk setup?

1. Having selected your course:  

   • create a subject class

   • add students to this course

   • Edit/Delete this course

2. In creating or editing a course, enter the reporting name (of <60 characters) when setting up the Course Endorsement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

3. Standards can only be attached to (or removed from) a Subject Class at the Course level, where the associated classes have the same standards and reflect the course endorsements. The course endorsement status for a subject class is determined by the right number and combination of standards being attached to a Course; so that any class on the particular course will by default, meet the Course Endorsement criteria, or not.

4. Where a subject class necessitates working to a different group of Standards, a separate Course needs to be set up, called a 'Virtual' course. A Virtual course is usually defined as one that is not a specifically timetabled class. Instead it can be cross-curriculua with standards attached from two or more subject areas.  

5. A student can be withdrawn from a standard, and this will impact on their Course Endorsement status.
