Dear Ara,

After receiving your email below, I searched for your original request on fyi.org.nz, and located it at the following webpage: https://fyi.org.nz/request/27273-grade-d.... We have searched our records and the University does not have a record of receiving your request of 16 June 2024. As your request was not communicated to the University, the OIA does not require the University to respond by today's date, 15 July 2024.

Your email below brought your request to our attention, and we will treat your request as communicated to the University on 15 July 2024. The University will respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable, within a maximum of 20 working days, unless that deadline is extended under the OIA.

Yours sincerely,

Landon Watt

Dear Ara,

 

I refer to your request received by the University on 15 July 2024. The
University’s response follows.

“What is the grade distribution for normal first year engineering students
compared to the grade distribution of those who took exams and tests under
special conditions?

Please provide the 2023 grade distribution data from exams and tests in:

ENGSCI 111

ENGGEN 115

ENGGEN 121

ENGGEN 140”

The statistics requested – custom grade distributions for specified
courses, and/or individual assessments/examinations in specified courses,
based on whether the student sat the test/exam under special conditions -
are not held by the University. This constitutes a 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,
