Subject: Freedom of Information request - Undergraduate and Postgraduate
long Covid statistics

Dear Cranfield University,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the
following information on the number of undergraduate and postgraduate
students impacted by long Covid at your university.

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?

How many postgraduate and undergraduate students from your university:
 a) Deferred their studies citing long Covid as the reason
 b) Took a leave of absence until the following academic year citing long
Covid as the reason
 c) Permanently dropped out of their course, as a result of developing
long Covid

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?

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.

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

Yours faithfully,

Grace Pritchard
