What the petition asks
Arrange another form of assessment that is available and acceptable for all students. We are still in full time education, with the government forgetting that university students are going through this pandemic too!
We are paying £9,250 a year for online learning which isn’t worth what we are paying for. We should be treated the same as other students in full time education. We are going through the pandemic too, which is something the government seems to forget.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise.
Decisions about university teaching, assessments and exams are a matter for individual universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
