Many students depended on the final exams to get into City, university of London or Cass Business School. Taking away that opportunity is stressing out many students and worrying them about the final predicted grade that they will receive as well as others with exams having to worry about getting the highest possible grade because of high weighting. Students also believe that the grading process does not fairly represent the effort nor academic progress. Furthermore, the final exams would’ve consisted of 70% whereas the coursework and the exams in December only consisted of 30%. Thus, being marked based on that 30% does not add up. There is no doubt that the covid-19 pandemic has affected the mental health of students and staff alike, the added uncertainty from our current situation only adds to our problems. I believe that INTO City students should be prioritized into getting into the first year of city University of London’s course or Cass business school.
I am currently drafting a formal letter to the administration at City University of London to challenge the current weighting of our grades. My next step is to coordinate with student representatives to ensure our specific data on academic progress is presented during our upcoming meeting with faculty leadership.

The administration has acknowledged the volume of signatures and agreed to a formal meeting to discuss our demands. I am currently drafting the proposal to challenge the current grading weighting and ensure our academic progress is fairly assessed.

As the student representative of FHL I agree with most of the students that they may have been disadvantaged in the sense that they most probably have been relying on the final exams to boost up their final grade to pass the foundation year.

This Corona Virus and the fact that That we can't improve ourselves in the 70% exam is unacceptable. You're based on 30% exams it is unfair.

In these desperate times, we should be looking out for the well-being of those close to us. In this case Into City students, whom have been working towards a common goal which is to reach the esteemed university of City, University of London. We feel as if we are being disadvantaged, as we could’ve potentially lost a great chance at attending this university. We were stripped away from a chance to complete our education (70% weighted final exam), and that has left a great number of us confused as to what our future holds.
We are the people who chose you. Please don’t let us down.
We ask for you to prioritize our admission into your university.

I believe that all students who are currently in INTO City need to progress to cass. The reason for this is that a significant amount of students are disadvantaged as they highly depended on improving their overall grade from the final exams.

I agree with this petition to the fullest due to the way the on-going situation have hampered many students to reach their maximum potential in their final exams.
