| AccessConditions | There is an embargo on this item. Access to St. Mary’s College Records will be subject to closure periods up to a maximum of 100 years.
For personal information and information linked to identifiable living individuals, the Archives advocate a closure period of ’lifetime’ of the data subject. This assumes a lifetime of 100 years, but will be graduated down from the age (or assumed age) of the individual in the record – this is 100 years minus the known or estimated age/s of the individual/s (at least 18 years of age at time of enrolment).
Exceptions:
1. Descendants of former students can access their relative’s student record with their written consent, or evidence of their death if this is the case (i.e. death certificate).
2. Requests for information made by former students: data Protection legislation gives you the right to request the information the University holds about you. Further information detailing how an individual can access their personal data can be found here: Making a Subject Access Request |
