Subject Access Requests

Data subjects have the right to access the information that the University holds about them.  A request for all such information is a Subject Access Request.  If you are a data subject and wish to make a Subject Access Request please print off and complete the University's Subject Access Request form and send it to the following address:

Ms. S. E. Philipson
Information and Data Protection Manager
Governance Support Unit
Durham University
The Palatine Centre
Stockton Road
Durham
DH1 3LE
 

The University will not process any request until it is receipt of a cheque for £10 and proof of identity, such as a photocopy of a drivers licence or passport.

Personal data can only be released to the relevant data subject.  It cannot be released to any third party unless the University receives the written consent of the data subject.

Requests for replacement degree parchments or verification of attendance/qualifications should be directed to the Student Planning and Assessment section at spa@durham.ac.uk.

If you are not satisfied with the way in which your Subject Access Request was processed or the response that you were given, please write to the Information and Data Protection Manager in the first instance.

You can also ask the Information Commissioner's Office to carry out an assessment to see whether it is likely or unlikely that the University has responded properly or you can take legal action through the court.
