Ensure students are notified before student finance payments are blocked

What the petition asks

I am aware of many students who had student finance payments blocked without prior notice who believe universities failed to inform them that failing to attend classes in person could trigger this issue. We demand immediate payment release, clear communication and accountability for this failure.

Some students have been left without essential financial support due to sudden Student Finance payment blocks. In our opinion, universities failed to clearly inform students that attendance could affect eligibility or trigger payment issues. We believe that this lack of transparency has caused financial hardship, stress, and risk of missed rent and bills. Immediate action is required to restore payments and ensure clear communication going forward.
