Ellie, an art and design student at Doncaster College, is due to have her coursework graded over the next few weeks towards her final mark for getting into university.
Her mum, Jayne Fennelly, said: "Ellie is devastated at the loss of her coursework. The folder contains work she has been doing over the last six months so there is no way she could do it again with just a few weeks to go before it all gets graded.
"Without that work she would fail the course, which would mean she wouldn't get into university, which is what she has been working so hard towards."
