Schedule 7 says "personal data consisting of marks or other information processed by a data controller"; the examiners' comments would surely be covered within "other information".

Although the 5 month time-limit could be applied to the results, the examiners' comments, whether written on or off the script, are specifically excluded from this extension. Any thoughts?

He has a valid point though - you are holding the data on the student and can you withhold just because it hasn't been announced. Is there a legal basis for withholding?
Wouldn't like to be in your shoes...............

Are there any further thoughts on this issue?
We are now in the position where we have been asked by a student what would happen if he put in a request under DPA. We have to think how we are going to reply to him, bearing in mind that we don't want several thousand requests from students for their exam marks.
I am thinking that the withholding of the data for 5 months from the date of the request might be my reply were we to receive requests, because the marks have not been "announced" or published. The university doesn't want to have to force members of staff into providing exam marks, because it doesn't want to exacerbate the situation any further. On the other hand, we have an obligation to our students as well.
How should I reply to the student? He hasn't actually put in a request yet.
Regards
Lucy Fincham
