During application and at (re-)enrolment you provide us
with personal information about yourself such as relevant contact details and
information about your background, which is held in systems such as MySIS. It’s
important that you ensure this information is accurate and keep it up to date.
Throughout your studies (or after you graduate) you may also provide, or we may
collect, other personal information and you should be aware that this also
includes any work you submit for assessment in the course of your studies.
Tutors may occasionally use anonymised student essays (or portions from them)
as part of the teaching process. We hope you will be willing to support your
fellow students by allowing this, but you may opt out by contacting your school
office. Other markers of engagement are monitored to help support students. If
you engage with your Advisor or other support services, notes may be kept and
shared with appropriate individuals.
We ensure that all personal data is held securely
and not disclosed to third parties without your consent, unless we are obliged
to do so by law - for example the annual student record that we submit to the Higher Education
Statistics Agency - or other conditions allow.
HESA requires us to collect details of our
students’ ethnicities and disabilities as a means of monitoring the success of
equal opportunities policies at a national level. This information is kept
confidential and helps us to provide you with support and information on
facilities and services that may be useful.
When
you enrol or re-enrol online you will be asked to read a privacy notice about
the purposes for which we use your personal data and to whom we may disclose it
when required. You must read thiscarefully. All personal data is
maintained in accordance with data protection legislation. For more information, visit: https://www.qmul.ac.uk/privacy/
and/or contact Queen Mary’s Data
Protection Officer via data-protection@qmul.ac.uk.
It is important that Queen
Mary has up to date personal details for all students.You will be able to update
your address and contact details online using MySIS, however a change in name
must be done in person at the Student Enquiry Centre with accompanying
identification. You can find out more information on the Student Enquiry Centre
