The vote will be a critical test for the coalition, which has faced mass protests over its plan to triple fees to £9,000 after every Liberal Democrat MP signed an individual pledge to vote against any increase if they were elected to parliament.
With the vote being rushed through, it is absolutely crucial for students and their families to lobby every MP and counter every argument to vote for increasing the cap. The scale of the task that faces the student movement is daunting but the efforts so far have been more than up to this challenge.
Over 52,000 people attended the national demo on Wednesday 10 November and independent local student actions have sprung up across the country.
For all those who have supported the campaign, we need to dig deep to deliver on this final and most crucial ask to lobby your MP and to do so today. Students who can be registered in two constituencies need to contact both sets of MPs.
NUS president Aaron Porter said: "MPs can be left in no doubt as to the widespread public opposition to these plans or of the consequences of steamrollering them through parliament.
"For the third time in less than a month thousands of students have taken to the streets to protest against the government's attacks on further and higher education.
He added: "Despite repeated dismissals by Nick Clegg that these are uninformed protesters, students are intelligent, articulate people who are not being listened to by those in whom they placed their hope for a different politics."
