Reimburse University tuition fees during the coronavirus outbreak
During the time of the coronavirus outbreak students face an uncertainty about graduations, exams, assignments and having to learn from online webinars. During this time face to face contact hours are suspended, due to this students are not receiving the standard expected for £9,250 tuition fees.
Reimburse tuition fees from university closing dates until reopening to help students with finances especially during such a difficult financial time.
Make a mandatory requirement that university’s communicate well about arrangements for teaching during this time via email. Also, that universities have a contingency plan in place where possible.
Ensure students can access financial support and information related to tuition fees as a priority.
