Students acceptability is assessed using the following criteria:
The student still has the ability to gain NCEA in 3 subjects with 14 credits in each of the three subjects when removing a subject for a study line
The student still has the ability to gain the 60 credits at level 3 needed for UE if a subject is removed for a study line

Students Pastoral record is also checked for the following:
Does the student have any entries that identify them as a ‘wanderer’
Does the student have any entries that show they have regularly left school at breaktimes
Does the student have multiple entries that show they do not submit or that they are regularly not on track to submit work (this indicates less ability to be self managing).
