Some universities and colleges are preventing students graduating because of debt incurred that’s unrelated to their studies. We’re continuing to develop a briefing on institutional debt issues and are looking at means of clarifying the legal situation when academic sanctions are applied in order to recover non-academic debt such as rent arrears.
How you can get involved
In order to get a better picture of what’s going on, we need solid examples to build a case for change. We'd like to hear from you if this is happening in your institution. Please contact david.malcolm@nus.org.uk with your experiences or for more information.
