Dear Grace,

Ref: 2021/257
 

Further to your request for information, please find the University's
response below. 

 

Where you asked: 

 1. How many postgraduate and undergraduate students were recorded to have
had long Covid at your university at any time in the period between
September 2020 - September 2021?

​The University's student records system does not record information
relating specifically to "long covid", therefore, we do not hold the
information to be able to answer this question. ​​

 2. How many postgraduate and undergraduate students from your university:
 3.  a) Deferred their studies citing long Covid as the reason

 4.  b) Took a leave of absence until the following academic year citing
long Covid as the reason

 5. c) Permanently dropped out of their course, as a result of developing
long Covid

​As above, we do not hold records on our systems to be able to answer this
three-part question.

 3. What were the five longest periods in days that postgraduate and
undergraduate students took a leave of absence from their course due
to long Covid in the time period between September 2020 - September
2021?

As above, we do not hold records on our systems to be able to answer this
question.

 4. Does your university offer any specialised support for postgraduate
and undergraduate students living with long Covid? If so could you
please provide details of these services.

The support offered to our students is outlined on Students:Coronavirus
webpages ([1]https://www.keele.ac.uk/coronavirus/curr...) and
also Student Health & Wellbeing webpages
([2]https://www.keele.ac.uk/students/lifeout...
We do not have specialised support for students specifically "living with
long Covid".

 5. What plans, if any, are in place to improve the support available to
postgraduate and undergraduate students who have long Covid at your
university?

The support services available to all of our students, whether it's
support relating to Covid or not, are outlined on our webpages (links
provided above).
Should you have any queries, please don't hesitate to contact us. 
Best wishes,
Legal, Governance & Compliance Team
