Premier and Prince of Wales Prize nomination criteria

S.O made this Official Information request to University of Otago

The request was successful.

From: S.O

Dear University of Otago,

I am requesting information as to how the annual Premier and Prince of Wales Prizes are awarded. i.e. entirely based on GPA or average percentage across all papers in a degree.

Based on the response from this I am also requesting the minimum and maximum GPA/percentage to be awarded the Premier Prize in Science and separately the Prince of Wales Prize across 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. This is to maintain anonymity for the prize recipients. For instance, if the prizes are awarded via GPA calculation and the minimum across the years was in 2019 and maximum in 2020 then I request the GPA for 2019 and 2020 but do NOT require which year this was awarded in.

Please let me know if I can clarify any of these points.

Yours faithfully,

S.O

Tēnā koe S.O

I acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act request.

Would it please be possible confirm the second part of your request? We have interpreted this part of your request to be for:

1) the minimum and maximum academic score to be awarded the Premier Prize in Science across the time period 2018 - 2024 (e.g., if the minimum score was awarded in 2019, and the maximum score was awarded in 2021, you would like each of these scores, but you do not require the years these scores were from); and
2) the minimum and maximum academic score to be awarded the Prince of Wales Prize across the time period 2018 - 2024 (using the same example as above).

Could you please confirm whether this is the information you are after? Alternatively, if there is something else you are interested in, we would be grateful to receive this clarification.

We will wait to hear back from you before we continue to process your request.
