Reimburse creative art students who can't access to equipment during lockdown

Closed 196 signatures

What the petition asks

Partially or fully refund creative arts students at universities who don’t have access to the specialist equipment that their tution fee pays for but are still expected to produce the same work.
Creative arts students are paying for specialist equipment only available in their university’s; which is mainly what their tution fees are for, however during lockdown they cannot use them. For example fine arts students who pay for the use of specialist wood tech,printmaking,photography studios etc. As this is mainly what we pay for in our degrees we are loosing out on time and practise with this equipment which cannot be made up for, thus missing out on what we’ve paid for.
