If we are able to respond to you sooner than this, we will do so

Please note that whilst the University strives to be open and is normally able to satisfy requests in full, the right of access is not absolute and we therefore have to refuse queries, either in full or in part, on the basis of the exemptions (for example, in cases where disclosure would breach student confidentiality, or put people in danger). All such decisions will be made, and fully justified, in accordance with the law.

If we reasonably require further information in order to respond, we will request this from you in writing (by e-mail if provided) as soon as possible. In all such cases, the timescales outlined in this correspondence will be disregarded and we will confirm the new date in which you should expect a response.
