Survey for new university students |
Participant Information Sheet
Thank you for taking part in our online survey. This information sheet provides details about the questionnaire and the wider research project. Please read it carefully.
Introduction
This research aims to evaluate how you manage the transition to university. It follows on from an EU-funded project called Autism&Uni. One of the project outputs is an online toolkit which your university has chosen to adopt. However, you are not required to use the toolkit in order to take part in this research.
Why should I participate?
You are invited to participate because as an autistic student you can contribute to our understanding of what it is like to start university, and what support is helpful. We will ask about your skills, knowledge, aspirations and worries during this transition.
Do I have to take part?
No, participation is voluntary and up to the point of submitting the questionnaire you are free to withdraw without giving a reason. Your details and responses will then not be used.
What happens with the information?
The University undertakes research as part of its function for the community under its legal status. Data protection allows us to use personal data for evidencing the impact of research, with appropriate safeguards in place, under the legal basis of public tasks that are in the public interest.
