Dear Arthur,
I refer to your request of 6 July 2024. The information requested is
attached, subject to the following:
• 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
