Rejected petition Refund 30% of Tuition fees for 2020/2021 academic year

The government must demand universities and institutions to refund 30% of whatever a student paid during the 2020/2021 academic year due to our lost experiences.

More details

It is unreasonable for an institution to demand the same price for a completely different product regardless of the circumstances. Students' mental health has also declined and Universities have offered little to no support and instead offered low-quality online education that benefitted few to none.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament is responsible for.

Decisions about refunding students are a matter for individual universities, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to directly reimburse students for a proportion of their tuition fees, or reduce student loan debts, if that's something you'd like to happen.

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