Cancel all university exams and lower grade boundaries for assessments.
Covid-19 has affected all students yet we have not received the necessary support by the government/ individual universities. Although some support has been put in place, this is not enough for the millions of students who are forced to work in toxic environments. Immediate action must take place.
We advice parliament to acknowledge the effect of the on going lockdown on students mental health and overall well-being. The work produced by students will be severely affected and this must be recognised. Some students in our universities will go on to become key workers and we must show them they are risking their lives for a government who is able to take action for the well-being of theirs.

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
