Northumbria Uni Safety Net


Northumbria Uni Safety Net
The Issue
Northumbria University has recently updated assessment regulations which do not offer adequate support for students who have been repeatedly ignored during the pandemic. We are pushing for a safety net which ensures every student who has had their potential limited can receive grades which are reflective of this despite the hindrance which has occurred.
We are petitioning for:
Undergraduate students will progress or achieve an award, based on an average of their best 60 credits.
All students are eligible to re-sit an assessment, regardless of the final grade achieved.
A lenient ‘near miss’ policy with respect to degree classification.
Direct consultation with students & student representatives regarding the development of support measures and teaching.
Please sign the petition to ensure Northumbria students are heard!
