How should a student make a request to see the information they are entitled to see (eg – the types of information referred to in points 2 to 4 above)?
A student should normally be given the information about them that they are entitled to see within a reasonable time of making a request to the relevant person which in this context would include the Departmental Administrator, Director of Studies, Personal Tutor or Head of Department. A request can be made verbally, by e-mail or in writing. A record should be kept on the student’s file of the request and the response to it. If, however, the person receiving the request is unsure whether the information should be released or if the information contains references to other persons, the student should be asked to contact the Data Protection Officer (currently Elizabeth Richardson – see Data Protection HomePage) to make a formal request for the information.
