Give a universal decision on the completion of university amid COVID-19.
Announce a universal decision as to how universities across the country should be helping students and changing deadlines, during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Some universities have given 4-week extensions and implemented safety nets or no detriment policies, while others are giving no extensions. A lot of students are worried about COVID-19 and a decision from the government would reduce worry and confusion about completing university. Schools and colleges have answers, whereas university students are confused and stressed, about failing or losing marks, due to unfair circumstances beyond their control, as a result of this pandemic.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about university 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.
