Record of School Achievement (RoSA)

From 2012, eligible students who leave school before receiving their Higher School Certificate (HSC) will receive the NSW Record of School Achievement (RoSA).

The RoSA is a cumulative credential in that it allows students to accumulate their academic results until they leave school.

The RoSA records completed Stage 5 and Preliminary Stage 6 courses and grades, and participation in any uncompleted Preliminary Stage 6 courses.

It is of specific use to students leaving school prior to the HSC.

Any time a student or school wants an up-to-date snapshot of a student’s academic progress, a transcript called a Student eRecord can be accessed via Schools Online or Students Online and printed or emailed.

Students who go on to complete the HSC will see all their Stage 6 (Year 11 and 12) courses and results on their HSC.

More information for students is available in the students section.

If you are a parent or an employer, you will find specific information at parents and employers.

• Teachers should submit grades to the Board of Studies NSW for all courses students complete in Stage 5 and Preliminary courses they complete in Stage 6.
