Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 21 May
2026.
If you are a student at the University, please contact your course
coordinator or lecturer directly to seek this information, and kindly
withdraw your OIA request. You are referred to our automatic email
response and our website for further details about requesting grade
distributions:
[1]https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/about/contacts/oi...
If you wish to proceed with your request, please note that course grades
are not recorded in percentages – refer to the University’s website on
grades here: [2]https://www.wgtn.ac.nz/students/study/pr....
Additionally, as the Trimester 1 period is still ongoing, and many final
grades have not yet been uploaded.
Accordingly, we ask that you withdraw your request for the time being. You
may re-submit the request a few weeks after the Trimester has finished
when grades are more likely to have been uploaded, and we recommend you
amend your request to be for “Grade distributions (i.e. A, B, C…) for
RESE411 in Trimester 1, 2026.”
Please note, any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to
be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory
timeframe for response—see section 15(1AA) of the Official Information
Act.

Dear OIA Requests,
I do not wish to withdraw my request at this stage. I understand that RESE411 has only 1 test during the entire trimester, and that the total number of students in the course is relatively small.
Before making this request, I carefully considered the likely workload involved. Given the small class size, I believe the request is reasonable under the OIA, and that there is a public interest in the information being made available.
To clarify, my request concerns the result of this specific test only, not the final course grade.
If, after my clarification, the University still considers my original request to involve substantial workload, please instead provide only the total number of students who received below 40/100, or below 40%, in this specific test. If the University prefers to use the grade E, please provide the total number of students who received E in this specific test, and explain what mark or percentage range E represents.
Yours sincerely,
sam
