Dear Ziad,

 

I refer to your request of 22 June 2023. As consultations necessary to
make a decision on your request are such that a response cannot reasonably
be given within the original time limit, the University has extended the
time limit for your request under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA. The new
maximum time limit for the University’s response is 28 July 2023; we will
respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable. You have the
right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are dissatisfied with
this extension.

 

Yours sincerely,

Dear Ziad,

 

I refer to your request of 22 June 2023. The information requested has
been provided in the attached, subject to the following:

 

o Student grade information for courses with a small number of students
has been withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA, to protect their
privacy.
o Where a course was not offered in the specified semester, grade
information is not held by the University. This constitutes a refusal
of the request under section 18(g) of the OIA.
o Your request for course mark statistics is refused under section 18g)
of the OIA, as the University does not hold final marks for its
courses. Grades, not marks, are the University's final measure of
academic assessment. Marks are used for initial calculation of grades
(see
[1]https://cdn.auckland.ac.nz/assets/auckla...)
but grades may be subsequently changed for various reasons, such as
aegrotat/compassionate consideration or academic misconduct.

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with this response.

 

Yours sincerely,
