Students whose courses have been thrown into chaos by the coronavirus pandemic should be reimbursed for the year or allowed to retake it at no further cost, according to the National Union of Students.

pauseorpayuk Our college was very disrupted and people were falling very ill from early Jan. They should reimburse this year's fees at least. I will simply discontinue my course if they don't. Some will have to repeat their year with 'given' exam marks possibly failing them. Exasperating.

Where is the link to the Petition 🤔🤔 I want to sign it ❤️NHS

Not enough money about to be paid out for every conceivable issue. More should be grateful for the very large amount that has already been paid out.

NO

Universities still providing teaching, marking, and other services. It's only been a few weeks, when students are only on campus half the year anyway.

Complete with politically correct photo. Congrats Graun!

Especially Student Nurses!!!!!

We’ve also lost lessons and resources due to the teachers strike, Covid 19 happened after that. The only ‘compensation’ is a three week extension on my assignments. A significant amount of debt is going to be for nothing, not to mention living costs during this period.

We agree because otherwise students are paying for taught courses that are not being taught, facilities and resources that are closed.

I am appalled about wet chinese markets and disgusting for the UK happy to say welcome to rich people who pay fees at schools and university . they will open the wet market in UK soon. disgusting

China which kept silence about Covid must repay schools and University in UK. thousand of students from China came back to UK after Christmas holidays obviously their rich parents knew about Covid as scientist confirmed .

I am so tired of paying for an education I am just not receiving.
