We, the undersigned Iranian students at Middlesex University, submit this petition through the Students’ Union to request temporary flexibility and support regarding tuition fee and accommodation payments.

Due to the exceptional and ongoing situation in Iran, many Iranian students are currently experiencing serious financial and logistical barriers. Nationwide internet shutdowns and banking disruptions have made it impossible for students to access online banking services or receive financial support from their families abroad. As a result, some students are temporarily unable to meet scheduled tuition and accommodation payment deadlines.

We wish to emphasise that this situation is temporary and entirely beyond students’ control. Affected students remain fully committed to meeting all financial obligations to the University as soon as normal access to banking and communication services is restored.

We therefore respectfully ask Middlesex University, with the support of the Students’ Union, to consider:

Temporary extensions to tuition fee and accommodation payment deadlines, and/or

Short-term flexible payment arrangements (up to two months) for affected Iranian students.

Middlesex University and the Students’ Union have a strong record of supporting student wellbeing and fairness. We kindly ask that this support be extended to Iranian students during this exceptional period.

Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
