This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure if you want the Government to cancel fees for the current academic year, nor next academic year.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to Reimburse international students this year's fees due to strikes and COVID-19, which you might like to sign: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/318717

Universities, not the Government or House of Commons, are responsible for setting tuition fees for international students, but if your university course is affected next year you could start a petition calling on the Government to reimburse international students' tuition fees.
