Amie Jones made this Freedom of Information request to University of Edinburgh

The request was successful.

From: Amie Jones

15 May 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) I would like to know
how many students have been stopped from graduating due to having
an outstanding library loan or fine.

If possible, could you tell me the year they were due to graduate,
the course they were due to graduate from, the amount the fine was
for, and the outcome.

I understand I am entitled to a reply within 20 days, which will be
15th June. Can you please acknowledge receipt of this request.

I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Amie Jones

Dear Ms Jones,
Thank you for your request for information. I can confirm that in the last 10 years no student has been prevented from graduating by the University of Edinburgh due to having an outstanding library loan or fine. In line with our retention policy, we do not hold records to answer this question for students graduating prior to 1998.

With best wishes
