Dear Kelly
Re:
Official information request – FASS Masters Scholarships GPA cutoff for 2018
I refer to your official information request dated 8 September 2019 asking for the fol owing information.
“Please can you inform me of the GPA cut-off for the academic merit based FASS Masters Award in
2018?”
The information you have requested is below.
The 2018 regulations of the FASS-funded Masters Awards (i.e. FASS 120-/240-point Masters Thesis Award and
FASS 180-point Masters Awards) selection criteria states that a minimum grade average of B+ is expected.
A minimum B+ equates to at least a GPA of 5.501 under the GPAs published by Universities New Zealand.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact me directly.
Yours sincerely
Duanna Fowler
Director, Office of the Vice-Chancellor
