Dear Kieran,

 

I refer to your request of 13 June 2020 for information about applicants
and pass/fail rates for the University’s Bachelor of Nursing programme.
Unfortunately it is necessary to extend the time limit for your request
until 30 July 2020 under section 15A of the Official Information Act, as
your request is for a large quantity of official information or
necessitates a search through a large quantity of information, and meeting
the original time limit would unreasonably interfere with University
operations. You have the right to make a complaint about this extension.

 

Yours sincerely

Rebecca Ewert

General Counsel

University of Auckland
