This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Universities, not the UK Government or Parliament, set their own entry requirements.

You could start a new petition asking for the UK Government to accept IELTs results up to 10 years old as evidence for language requirements for visa applications.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
