Extend University assignments by at least 2 weeks due to the impact of COVID-19.
Apply pressure on universities to acknowledge the various impacts COVID-19 could have on students and how this could negatively impact their grades. The various impacts may include becoming ill due to the rise in cases, family members becoming poorly and work pressures.
Due to the impact this could have, we are asking for universities to implement at least a two week extension on all assignments to allow students to reach their full potential.

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
