Dear Luke,

 

I refer to your request of 29 August 2023. The information requested is
attached, subject to the following:

 

o The University does not hold final mark statistics. 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. This
constitutes a refusal of your request under section 18(g) of the OIA.
o The grade information requested for Semester One MAORIHLTH 710
students is withheld under section 9(2)(a), to protect their privacy.
o The information requested for Semester One MAORIHLTH 709 does not
exist, as this course was not offered in Semester One 2023. This
technically constitutes a refusal of your request under s 18(g) of the
OIA.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely,

Landon Watt

Legal Advisor

Office of the Vice-Chancellor
