I refer to your information request dated 15 April 2023 made under the Official Information Act 1982
(the Act). You have requested information in relation to the GPAs of students enrolled in the
Bachelor of Laws (LLB) programme and the Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) programme with a minor
in Finance. Specifically, you have requested:
“the GPA of all students who study a LLB, BCom with a major in Finance. This need not
exclude students who are studying a double major or have an additional minor for their
BCom. Moreover, please only provide the GPA of those students who are enrolled or have
been enrolled in a 300 or 400 level law paper. This request relates to students who are
currently enrolled at the University of Otago.”
Subject to the following comments, please see below the information you have requested.
• this cumulative GPA data is correct as at 24 April 2023 and has been calculated for all paper
results to date. Further information on how GPA is calculated is available online at the
University’
s AskOtago Service Portal.
• only students concurrently enrolled in both a LLB (including Honours) and a BCom majoring
in Finance in 2023, and who are also enrolled in one or more 300- or 400-level Law papers,
are included. Students who are enrolled in a double major, or have an additional minor for
their BCom, are included in the data.
