Very concerned for DD who is in final year at the RAU in Cirencester. Her dissertation involves regular external sample collection which she then has to input into a special computer within the university to compile statistical data essential in order to reach conclusions which form part of her diss. It's too late in the day for her to start a whole new diss at this point. Uni are so far not providing any guidance other than that they will organise on-line lectures (many have already been missed), that exams will be on-line and to "carry on" with dissertations. DD is currently home as unwell physically, plus acute anxiety over whether or not she will even be able to graduate this year, how her final grade may suffer, plus worries over possibly having to repeat the year and incurring another year's worth of student debt. If anyone else's DC is in the same situation, please share any guidance they've been given by their university. With the latest govt. guidance as at 23/03 re non-essential travel etc I can't see how DD can continue to gather the samples and data she needs. I'm very concerned about uni students' wellbeing and mental health at this point due to lack of transparent information. Clear guidance re GCSE and A levels but very much lacking from universities it seems.
