Partially refund full-time students and/or provide additional financial support.
We urge the Government to impose emergency partial refunds across all of the United Kingdom for full time students. We also urge that the Government increase funding available to students.
Many UK Universities have and will remain closed for face-to-face learning. The ongoing stress of performing visual learning is not something that students opted to pay for. We feel a partial refund should be in place to compensate for this distress.
Additionally, many students face the predicament whereby necessary student accommodation is being paid for in hope to return to on-campus learning. Many students are worse off due to paying for this inaccessible accommodation and further financial support is therefore vital.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand you want the Government to refund students fees, however any reimbursement of fees is the responsibility of individual universities not the UK Government or Parliament.
