keeper of an unregistered car is a student or not.

have any queries about the above, please get back to me.

Act 2000 enquiry, we encourage requesters to email

with the response you received, you can request an internal review into
the handling of your request by emailing [2][email address]. Internal
reviews will be conducted in accordance with the University’s Freedom of
