Text of Petition:                     

Currently full-time Welsh University students are paying £9000 per year to gain full access to all University services.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions most of the learning is being done online.

Students are unable to access many of the services and equipment that would have been available prior to COVID-19.

A reduced service should be reflected with reduced fees.

 

A student and some money
