Closed Petition closed 23rd September 2020

Reimburse all students of this year’s fees due to strikes and COVID-19 - Final Signatures: 353,129

All students should be reimbursed of this years tuition fees as universities are now online only due to COVID-19, with only powerpoints online for learning materials which is not worthy of up to £9,250. Furthermore, all assessments are being reconsidered to ‘make do’ and build up credits.

Debate: This petition was debated in Westminster Hall on 16th November 2020

The Government responsed to this petition on 5th June 2020 (View Full Response)
HE providers must deliver high quality courses. If students are unhappy they should first complain to their provider and if their concerns are unresolved they can ask OIA to consider their complaint.

Found: Field trips have also been cancelled which our tuition fee was to pay for.
