Allow university students to return to their term-time address in England

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Most university students do not qualify for return to their term-time address. With self-catered accommodation all open from April 12th, the progress of vaccinations, and cases lower than last October, it's time to let students return, regardless of whether teaching is face-to-face or all online.

It has been a dismal year for young people with a widespread mental health crisis, over a year of university experience gone with no fee rebates, and students facing final exams in childhood bedrooms.

Some students live privately and can return without permission, leading to fairness issues around accessing campus resources.

This issue has not been prioritised. The Government had planned to make an announcement on this by the end of the Easter holidays, but this hasn't happened yet.
