information is held it is not possible.  We will not, therefore, be
proceeding any further with your request and this letter acts as a Refusal
Notice within the terms of the Act. 

If you have any queries or concerns then please contact me in the first
instance.

I anticipate that the best way to provide this information is to
have a spreadsheet divided up into the individual years, and each
year in turn being divided up unto the individual courses (which
must have their course code next to them).

I look forward to hearing from you within the 20 day deadline.

Yours faithfully,

James Carter
