Delays to student grades FAQs
Friday 9 December
Due to the recent Tertiary Education Union (TEU) strike action at Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of Auckland, some Semester Two exam grades were not entered or released into our student management system.
The TEU strike on the release of grades ended at 7pm on Thursday 8 December. Grades are now in the process of being entered and our priority is to get the results out as soon as possible. We’re aware that there may still be impacts to students receiving their final grades.
