You can apply for the return of your examination scripts, including those for online examinations, with no administration fee.
Not all examination scripts can be returned. If your answers involved problem solving, were answered on multi-choice answer sheets for computer marking, or if a department requires an examination paper to be embargoed then you will not be able to have your script returned to you.

To request the return of your examination scripts, you will need to complete a physical form.

Once an examination script is collected by a candidate, no consideration will be given to any subsequent issue arising from the marking of that script, nor the addition or compilation of the marks.

How do I request the return of my examination scripts

To request the return of your examination scripts:

  1. Open the Application for return of examination scripts form.
  2. Print the form.
  3. If you do not have access to a printer, and are in Dunedin, you can visit the AskOtago Central Hub and ask for a physical copy.
  4. Complete all the fields.
  5. Return the form to the AskOtago Central Hub.
  6. If you are not in Dunedin and will not be returning during the application period, send the form to the address provided in the form's notes.
  7. Enclose one A4 self-addressed envelope for each script requested, with New Zealand stamps to the required value.

Open form

Unclaimed examination scripts are destroyed 12 weeks after the release of confirmed results.

Students need to complete a physical form. If they are unable to do this at the Central Hub or cannot access the form, they can request it is sent to them by AskOtago. There is a copy available in SharePoint.
