Dear Samuel,

Thank you for your request regarding the average grades for all undergraduate courses.

To ensure we provide you with the most accurate and relevant information, we would appreciate your clarification on the scope of your request. Specifically, we would like to confirm whether you are seeking:

The average grades for all individual undergraduate courses (e.g., Introduction to Psychology, Calculus I, etc.), or

The average grades for undergraduate programs (e.g., Bachelor of Science in Psychology, Bachelor of Engineering, etc.)

For context, a program refers to the overarching qualification a student is enrolled in, which is typically made up of multiple courses or units studied across semesters. Each course has its own assessment and grading, while the program encompasses the full academic pathway leading to a degree.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
RTI-Privacy Officer
UniSC
