We are all currently experiencing something so unprecedented that the whole world is in a mass panic. As university students we have faced multitudes of challenges in the past few weeks. Many international students have had to completely abandon their life here and go back to their home countries to be with family. Many of us know family members or friends that are dealing directly with a COVID-19 infection. These are tough times for everyone and especially students who have so much on their plate. This is not the time to have to worry about an assignment deadline or exam revision. As per government guidance GCSE and A-Level exams were cancelled. So why are universities continuing with exams through an online portal. This petition is to the University of Kent to be a leader in these times and truly put the well-being and health of all its students above its reputation. Assignments and exams should be made void for the remainder of the year. Students at the University of Kent are greatly disadvantaged at this time and they need to know that their university cares about them and is doing everything in their power to ensure their physical, mental and emotional well-being.

please sign this petition to bring forward our voice to the Vice-Chancellor.
