ensure no disadvantages for all university Students during COVID19
Support for all student at university by ensuring that they cannot get a lower grade than their average before COVID-19, but can of course improve their grade.
At universities they have 24 hour libraries, lecturers willing to help before, after and during their free periods as well as the student support centres all willing to help students improve their work and guide them on the right track to complete their assignments, any other work that they have to complete and revise for exams to the best of their ability. Due to the outbreak a lot of students have returned home to be with their family and therefore away from these resources.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about university teaching, assessments and exams are a matter for individual universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
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.
We understand that the current situation is stressful for many people, including students. Student Minds, a mental health charity for students, is collating guidance and developing resources to support students experiencing stress as a result of the current situation, which you may find useful: www.studentminds.org.uk/coronavirus.html
