Grades for undergraduate courses
Dear University of Queensland,
I am writing to request information under the Queensland Right to Information Act 2009.
Specifically, I am seeking the following information:
1. The average grades for all undergraduate courses (100, 200, and 300 level courses) offered by the University of the Sunshine Coast in the 2024 academic year, covering all teaching periods.
2. If available, the standard deviation of grades for each of these courses.
I understand this request may cover a large number of courses.
If you need any clarification or have any questions regarding this request, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am available to discuss the request and clarify any points as needed.
Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
Yours faithfully,
Samuel

process it in this format without requiring you to fill in the application

it was received, the University has not breached the 25 business day
timeframe to finalise a response to the request under the legislation.
I understand you are seeking access to the following:

200, and 300 level) offered by the University of Queensland during the
