Dear Arthur,

 

I refer to your request of 17 April 2025.  The University’s response
follows:

 

This request is in regard to statistical data on student performance for
the following University of Auckland papers. Could the following
statistics please be provided under the Official Information Act

(1) Final grade distribution (broken down grade by grade, e.g., A+, A,
etc.).

(2) The mean numerical mark.

(3) The median numerical mark.

(4) The number of students who completed the following courses:

 

2025 summer school:

 

EARTHSCI 105

WINESCI 201

GEOG 325

STATS 330

 

The information requested in parts (1) and (4) of your request is
attached.

 

With regard to the information requested in parts (2) and (3) of your
request, 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 part of your request is refused under section 18(g) of the OIA, as
the information requested is not held by the University.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely,

Farleigh Quinlivan
