Police allege she was threatening to carry out an attack using guns and explosives "of a magnitude surpassing" the 15 March terrorist attacks in Christchurch.
Eight ceremonies were postponed and Otago Polytechnic was forced to do the same for its planned graduation.
The woman appeared in the Auckland District Court this afternoon, where she was granted interim name suppression.
She was remanded on bail and aspects of the hearing were heavily suppressed.
She is due to appear back in court in February.
