Reimburse university students affected by COVID-19.
Reimburse all university students whose universities have transitioned from campus-based education to an online-course, due to COVID-19. Payments made should be equal to the proportion of the education lost in the whole year multiplied by the annual tuition fee.
Students expected physical lectures, activities and resources, but will not receive this from universities, despite paying the full amount. Some students require on-campus resources (such as computers and study-spaces) to complete the course, but no longer have access to these. Students should be refunded proportionally for what has been made unavailable to them.

If you have concerns about your university's arrangements for teaching and assessment you should raise these with your university or the Office for Students, which regulates the higher education sector.
