Reduce University Fees in Response to Covid-19 Closures
Reduce the fees that university Undergraduate and Masters students are expected to pay for this academic year in response to campus closures due to Covid-19
Due to the outbreak of the virus university students have found their on campus classes suspended pending the outcome of the pandemic, whilst others have found their classes suspended indefinitely for the remainder of the academic year.
As a response to this, students have found that they have been unable to use the facilities that are offered on campus, including computers, printers, learning hubs, employment support etc. In response to this we believe our fees should be reduced accordingly.
