Thank you for your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA)
dated 23 December 2025 in which you requested:
“I seek the following information for the 2025 academic year:
1.
The number of students that recieved each grade (ie. no. of A+, A, A- etc.) for
all papers offered by Victoria University of Wellington.
2.
AND the average grades for all papers offered by Victoria University of
Wellington.
3.
AND The number of students enrolled in each course offered by Victoria
University of Wellington.”
On 6 January 2026 you were contacted to discuss the scope of your request, as your original
request would likely be refused under section 18(f) of the OIA as it would require substantial
research and collation in order to respond. On 6 January 2026 you agreed to refine your
request to be for:
“For the following courses — HLTH 521, HLTH 528, HLTH 518, HLTH 524, HLTH
501, HLTH 502, GOVT 512, GOVT 513, GOVT 514, GOVT 521, GOVT 522, GOVT 523,
HLWB 501, HLWB 507, HLWB 508, HLWB 509, HLWB 510, HLWB 511, HLWB 512,
HLWB 520, HLWB 521, HLWB 525, HLWB 526 — I seek the following information for
the 2025 academic year:
1.
The number of students who received each final grade (i.e., the number of A+,
A, A-, etc.) for each course. Where the release of grade distributions would
pose a significant risk to student privacy, I request the average final grade for
that course instead.
2.
AND The number of students enrolled in each course
Please note that HLTH 502 and HLTH 518 are offered in both Trimester 1 and
Trimester 2. I therefore request that the information for these courses be provided
separately by trimester.”
Please note that this request is considered a new request under section 15(1AA) of the OIA.
