Where do the weights on these AUT pages come from?
From the course descriptor AUT publishes for each course, which lists the summative assessments and their weightings. Guides name the descriptor date they were built from, and you should confirm the current descriptor on Canvas before exams.
What is a hurdle requirement in an AUT course?
A condition in the descriptor that must be met independently of your overall grade, for example achieving at least a C- in a practical assessment or completing required clinical hours. To pass such a course you need both the required overall average and the hurdle.
When are the study and assessment weeks at AUT?
AUT's semester dates set aside study and assessment weeks at the end of each semester: in Semester 1 2026 they run 2 to 19 June. Guides covering a final assessment place it within that window.
How does AUT calculate a GPA?
Grades carry points from A+ at 9 down to C- at 1, with fails at 0. The GPA multiplies each grade's points by the course's points, adds the products, divides by the total points and is worked to three decimal places before rounding.
Is AskSia connected to AUT?
No. AskSia is independent of Auckland University of Technology. Guides are written by AskSia from published course information, and every figure states the descriptor it was taken from.
