Make A Request

Should you wish to make a request for access to records we would first advise that you view the University Publication Scheme. The majority of information about the University can be gained through this. However should the required information not be set out in the Publication Scheme you may make a request for access to Information as follows:

• Your application should be in writing and must state that your request is made under Section 12 of the FOI Act 2014.
• Alternatively, you may download and complete the University's FOI Application Form. Download the Request for Access to Records Application Form
• Indicate clearly that the information is sought under the Freedom of Information Act
• Indicate if the information is required in a particular form i.e. email, photocopy, computer disk, etc.
• Include as much detail as possible to enable the staff of the University to identify the record. If you have difficulty in identifying the precise records that you require, the FOI Office will be happy to assist you in preparing your request
• Provide full contact details including a telephone number and e-mail address where available so that you may be contacted if it is necessary to clarify the details of your request.

Send your request to the FOI Office at University of Galway. You may be required to provide identification especially when requesting personal information. A typical form of identification that you could be asked to produce will be your passport, driving licence, student ID card or birth certificate.

Applications must be in writing and should be sent to the FOI Office at University of Galway.
