New England Award Activities
The New England Award works on a points system where each activity undertaken is worth a certain number of 'NEA points'. To be successful in gaining a New England Award, the activities undertaken must add up to 1000 NEA points or more over your time at UNE.
There is an extensive list of activities that can be counted towards your New England Award. This list may be viewed in your MyNEA. account. Here you can login using your UNE username and password, browse, and add any of the activities that you are partaking in now or in the future. You might also add activities in that you could aim to be doing in the future.

When undertaking an activity that will count towards your New England Award it is vital that you notify the activity provider. You may also need to provide supporting documentation for activities which are unknown to the NEA Office and/or have been completed external to the university.
Voluntary work or paid work for NEA points
If you wish to claim NEA points for undertaking any work, whether it is voluntary or paid, you must ensure that you and the employer have signed the NEA Work Experience Disclosure form and returned it the NEA Office. If the form is not completed and signed you will not be eligible to claim the NEA points for the work undertaken.
