STUDENT MESSAGE 1: Universities are responsible for their own fees but the Government has been VERY clear if universities want to continue charging the full fees, they are expected to maintain the quality, quantity and accessibility of tuition.
STUDENT MESSAGE 2: The quality of online learning is actively monitored by the @OfficeStudents, so students can graduate with world class degrees.
STUDENT MESSAGE 3: If students think they aren’t getting quality, quantity & accessibility they should raise their concerns with their Uni via the complaints process. If unresolved, they can go to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator (OIA) https://www.oiahe.org.uk
STUDENT MESSAGE 4: Students have faced a v challenging time & we as a government encourage universities & accommodation providers to review their accommodation policies to ensure they have students best interests at heart. We are urging them to make their policy clear & be fair.
STUDENT MESSAGE 5: It’s too soon to say when we will be able to get more students back, but we will as soon as we safely can. We will look to prioritise practical and creative students and those nearer to graduation in any decision making re who can return.
STUDENT MESSAGE 6: We have given £20 million to help students most in need of support in these exceptional circumstances, in addition to the flexibility given so unis can use the existing £256 million to help students. We are working on what more we can do to support students.
