    Dear Arthur,
 
I refer to your request of 29 March 2024. 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 partial refusal of your request under section 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
