Rejected petition Make universities refund some tuition if materials aren’t supplied during covid
Force universities to refund tuition if they insist on holding exams without supplying the relevant teaching materials to students who have paid their fees on the basis that materials are supplied in hard copy
More details
My class and I to pay £17k in fees to my university and they are refusing to either reduce fees or reimburse us if we buy the books ourselves so we can the exams and they won’t send the books out even though they admit they are at the university waiting to be collected.
They want us to sit exams with no access to online permitted materials and the permitted materials are at the uni waiting to be collected. Instead we should buy them ourselves (£1000 per book) or ask old students
