Rejected petition Reconsider tuition fees of students at University.

To re-evaluate the tuition fee for ALL students, UK/EU as well as international students, and give students a refund via bank transfer to help them with their current financial situations as well as the inconvenience, rather than decreasing the loan with the student loans companies.

More details

Due to COVID-19, most students are attending online lectures, or have most of their lectures online. Due to this, we are not using University resources like normal, apart from their e-library. This should not cost students more than £9250 a year. Furthermore, many universities have issues with online learning, and libraries are yet to resolve licensing issues with much needed e-books. Due to our current financial situation, we would also like to be given a refund via our banks.
