Petition calls for for partial refund to Wolverhampton University students over lack of face-to-face lectures
Scores of people have signed a petition calling for the University of Wolverhampton to partially refund tuition fees due to the lack of face-to-face lectures.
More than 180 people have signed the petition since it was launched on Tuesday, which calls for a partial refund to fees, which depending on the course can be more than £9,000.
Liam Scott, who started the petition, says: "With the recent closure of the campus due to the Covid-19 virus, the University of Wolverhampton has decided to implement a number of preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of the virus spreading to the student population.
"Such measures include the cancelling all face to face classes and instead implementing remote online instruction. While we applaud UOW's initiative for putting the student’s health and safety as the main priority, it is important to consider the financial impact on the students, especially the international students considering the tremendous difference between the tuitions.
