We acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act requests.

We note we have received a second request of a similar nature from "JR" that asks for "statistics around how many papers are expunged from academic transcripts due to an error in the administration of final examinations". For efficiency we will combine these two requests together and provide the information in one response, as the requests are asking for similar information.

Can we also please clarify the scope of your request. The request as you have stated is not specified with due particularity. Could you please confirm the timeframe you are interested in receiving the information for?

We will wait to hear from you before we continue to process your request.

Thank you for your email.

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as practicable and within the 20 working day time period. Please note that our staff are working through an unusually busy period given the current environment and the beginning of the 2022 academic year.

As noted in my previous email, in order to process your request more efficiently, could you please clarify the time period you are interested in receiving the information for? For example, would the number of papers expunged in the 2021 academic year suffice? Additionally, if you were able to clarify any specific papers or Divisions you are interested in receiving the information for, it may speed up the processing of your request.

We will wait to hear back from you before we continue to process your request.
