Dear Benjamin
Official Information Act request OIA 24.131 MATH199 grades
I refer to the Official Information Act request dated 12 August 2024 for information relating to MATH199 at
the University of Canterbury (UC). You have specifical y requested:
•
I request the number of students taking the AIMS MATH199 STAR course each year. Out of these, how
many began study at the University of Canterbury the fol owing year(s).
•
I request the number of students who received an A+ grade in the course each year, and out of those
how many began study at the University with MATH199 AIMS scholarships each year.
•
I request the number of students who began study at the University with MATH199 STAR scholarships,
and what the average grade % of the recipients were, each year.
I refer to the partial response to this request sent to you on 20 September 2024. This letter is the final part of
that response.
Please see attached the number of students that obtained an A+ grade from 2014 – 2023 in MATH199. For
further information on UC’s grading scale, please s
ee here. A student who obtains an A+ is offered a MATH199
scholarship on the condition that they enrol at UC. Therefore, the number of students who began study with a
MATH199 scholarship (which was previously provided on 20 September) also answers the second part of this
question.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about
how to make a complaint is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
