Staffordshire University to implement a 'No detriments' policy
Implement this policy to help support students during this uncertain and extremely stressful period.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Why is this important?
The recent impacts of Covid-19 have been particularly hard-hitting on University students during their Higher Education.
Many students have been unable to continue with their work at the same standard they were able to prior to this disruption to their education, due to the immediate health concerns they and those close around them now face.
Staffordshire University has given students a blanket extension of 10 days on all of their current assessments, however what other University's have also started to implement is a 'No detriments' policy for students. This means that as long as students submit and pass all of their remaining assessments, they will receive no less than the average grade they had achieved in this academic year assessments up to this point. However, if students pass their exams with a higher grade than their average, this is the grade they will receive for the academic year. So their grade can be higher than what they've already achieved, but not lower. Essentially, it's a safety net for students.
Sign this petition to encourage Staffordshire University to implement this policy to help support students during this uncertain and extremely stressful period.
