Is such a transcript outside of the definition of educational records in Sch
11 2 a. and subject access.
If not I assume the Subject Access fees Misc order could apply which sets
response period, and fees if the transcript is requested under this basis.
Can someone aid my education here,
1) Do universities colleges etc fall under sch 11?
2) Does anyone have a copy they could send me of the definition of what a
school is in terms of the DPA and Education Act 96, Education Act 1980
Scotland.
3) Can in-house educational facilities of commercial organisations providing
training services to a paying customer be defined as schools?
Responses would be appreciated

Dennis Barington-Light from Cambridge did a survey of other universities a
year or two ago about charging for transcripts and replacement degree
certificates. I have a summary of the responses I can e-mail to interested
parties (I'll send it to you 'off list'). The gist of the responses was:
* the majority of institutions now provide one transcript free of charge to
recent graduates whose grades can be printed from databases. Most of these
then levy a charge for additional copies.
* The majority levy a charge for less recent graduates, whose marks need to
be
specially compiled from exam board records (anywhere between £5 and £25 plus
a
smaller sum for each additional copy).

| What do colleagues in Higher Education feel about students paying £10 per
| (archived) transcript where, for example, they are asking for transcripts
| to be sent to various institutions with details to fill in on application
| forms etc. Should this form part of the normal good practice of an
| institution? Would charging more than £10 break the Data Protection
| principles anyway?
