Myles Jordan-Bond

Hello Queen’s University Belfast,
I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information:
Records on student dropout rates from 1997-present date of undergraduate students, including what courses the relevant students were on, what year of study they were in when they officially dropped out, the date they ceased studies, their age and their gender. I would also request information regarding the level of maintenance loan they were receiving during their studies, as well as any additional relevant bursaries, grants or other financial support.
Please provide the information in the form of an excel spreadsheet.
If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.
If you can identify any ways that my request could be refined I would be grateful for any further advice and assistance.
If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me via email or phone and I will be very happy to clarify what I am asking for and discuss the request, my details are outlined below.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.
Best wishes,
Myles Jordan-Bond

Dear Myles

 

In order to respond to your FOI request.

 

We need a definition of dropout – does this encompass everyone who
discontinued their course for any reason? Does this include temporary
leave from a course, changing to another course or transferring to another
university?

 

Kind regards

 

Shauneen

Dear Shauneen,

Firstly, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. The information we require would encompass everyone who left a course even if they continued their studies at a later date, changed course or changed university.

Yours sincerely,

Myles Jordan-Bond
