Re: Studying at Cardiff Metropolitan University
Further to the letter of 17 October 2012 and your recent correspondence with
Professors Brooksbank and Jones, I am writing to clarify the position in relation to
your wish to resume studies at the University.
You have the right to have a needs assessment undertaken at any suitable centre
and the University will accept a needs assessment from Swansea University
Assessment Centre, as you prefer.
However, as per our letter of 17 October 2012 we also need to be able to contact
your GP and possibly specialists to obtain full details of your medical history, since it
became apparent during the course of your complaint that you had additional
diagnoses apart from those disclosed to the University when you commenced your
studies.
I would be grateful if, once you have obtained the needs assessment, you could
forward it to me, together with GP details and any relevant specialist details and
written consent for us to contact them. I have enclosed standard consent documents
for you.
Once we have contacted your GP and have the full medical evidence we will be able
to determine how we may proceed with your application to rejoin the course.
