SELMA allows you to request a file of the Unit Standards that a Student has achieved from NZQA. The file type is called a Record of Achievement (RoA) or Record of Learning (ROL), and can be imported into SELMA to cross-credit Unit Standards a Student has already completed.

Review RoA
Once the RoA has been imported, the list of achieved Unit Standards will be visible on the Student profile, under the NZ Compliance tab.
Figure 5. Navigate to Student Profile
For more information about a Student’s RoA, see the “Achieved Unit Standards” section on the Student profile. Click to go directly to a Unit Standard (), or delete a Unit () if it has been reported in error and you have requested NZQA to remove it.
Add a Manual RoA Entry
If the NZQA system is temporarily unavailable, a previous provider has failed to report an achieved Unit Standard, or the total number of achieved Unit Standards is small, you may want to enter a Unit Standard into a student’s RoA, manually.

Click the “+” button in the Achieved Unit Standards section.
Enter the Unit Standard code and version, and click “Validate” to check if it exists in SELMA, and is completed. If it does, the window expands to reveal more required details. Once you have provided all information, click “Add +” to add the Unit Standard to the RoA.
Cross-Crediting of Achieved Unit Standards
After an RoA is imported, or manually updated, SELMA automatically changes the Completion Code of an Enrolment Component linked to an achieved Unit Standard to “Cross-Credit“.
