阅读 3159

最近很多同学陆陆续续收到英国大学发来的关于第二学期上课的安排通知，很多同学因此询问君君，我能够拿着这个学校的信，退订公寓吗？

以下是UCL发给同学们的信：

A message to UCL students from UCL and Students'Union UCL

Dear XXX,

We hope that you have enjoyed the start of term. We know that many of you need to know quickly what UCL’s plans are for the rest of this academic year (ie Terms Two and Three), so that you can plan your study, accommodation and travel arrangements over the next few months.

Cases of coronavirus have remained relatively low among staff and students and we are confident that our campus, teaching spaces and facilities are safe. Of course, we are closely tracking the progress of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact both on our community and on London more broadly.

It is likely that teaching in Terms Two and Three will be similar toTerm One: all core teaching and assessment online, a limited amount of educational activity on campus, and alternative activity for students not on campus. Our libraries and study spaces will remain open, subject to UK government guidance and social distancing requirements.

UCL is working closely with the Students’ Union and our public health and medical experts to agree our approach to Term Two and Term Three, including laboratory and studio activity and clinical programmes. An announcement will be made in the second week of November, when this has been confirmed through UCL’s formal procedures.

Your lecturers and support staff are doing all they can to provide a rich academic experience for you and we hope that you are getting involved with the clubs and societies, careers, enterprise, volunteering and other skills development opportunities and events. The coronavirus pandemic may be affecting your education in ways that you perhaps had not anticipated and your department will be happy to talk to you about your studies and to help you work through some of these challenges.

Wherever you are reading this message, we hope that you, your families and friends are safe and well.

Best wishes,

Professor Anthony Smith

Vice-Provost (Education & Student Affairs)

根据UCL的第二学期安排通知邮件为例，结合Unite Students的退订政策，君君给出了以下的建议。

可退订原因1：No Place No Pay

条款：if the student fails their exams or is rejected by the UK University, the student needs to send us the university rejection letter, or proof that the exam results don’t meet the requirements of the university, and we will cancel the booking and refund the money to the student. The student must send us the proof documents within 7 days of receiving them. This policy is valid until the 15th September. For January 2021 start dates, our cancellation deadline for No Place No Pay and No Visa No Pay is on the 30th November 2020.

解读: 这个条款针对于没有拿到Offer的同学适用，但是延期到2021年1月入学的，基本不适用于此条款。很多同学问，如果我有几个学校的Offer能不能证明我不去此学校了，可以退订吗？答案是否。一定是要拿到学校的拒信证明才可以的，如下图所示。

可退订原因2：No Visa No Pay

条款：if the student doesn’t get their visa to come and study in the UK, the student must send us the visa application rejection letter within 7 days of receiving it and we will cancel the booking and refund the money to the student. This policy is valid until the 15th September.For January 2021 start dates, our cancellation deadline for No Place No Pay and No Visa No Pay is on the 30th November 2020.

解读：这个条款主要针对于签证被拒的同学适用，很多同学问，如果我预约不到签证怎么办？这个几乎不可能，因为签证都是很好预约的。只有资金问题、学术作假才有可能被拒签、提供的信息有虚假的嫌疑、移民倾向才可能会被拒签，如果一旦被英国拒签，那么意味着你以后申请任何国家的签证都是有黑记录的，大家也一定要谨慎。所以，这个想用这个条款退订的可能性，几乎不存在。

如果不能退订，那么你是有法律责任寻找承租人的，否则公寓是有权使用追债公司的。追债公司真的在英国存在吗？大家千万不要以为这个只是吓一吓你，如果企业真的决定使用追债公司，这就是君君亲身经历过的《早上5点被讨债公司闯家门，不交钱就搬东西！警察都没法管的体验！》

学校里面的第二学期信，用词过于的“不肯定”所以不能当作退订的理由

原文：It is likely that teaching in Terms Two and Three will be similar toTerm One: all core teaching and assessment online, a limited amount of educational activity on campus, and alternative activity for students not on campus.

likely：给出了一种不确定的变数在里面

similar：相似，但是有可能不一样

limited: 很“精准”的告诉大家，可以回来上课了，会有线下的活动，但是具体哪一些活动可以线下，没有说

由于学校的邮件没有任何的一定、肯定、必须此类斩钉截铁的回复，所以对于你而言还是可以选择回英国上课的，因此一般这样的邮件公寓是不接受的。并且，一致判定为因为你的个人原因导致的不能入住。个人原因退订，是必须找到承租人的。

寻找承租人的要求

条款：Replacement tenant found: if the student finds a replacement tenant to take over his room with the same tenancy length and same weekly rate, we can process the booking for the new student, and once the offer has been accepted by the new student and his guarantor, and that they have paid the £250 (if applicable), we will release the original student from their contract.

解读：如果你预订了公寓不来英国，那么意味着你一定要自己找到承租人，并且承租人需要承租你的租期与价格。什么意思呢？如果你租的时候300镑，现在公寓降价到了280镑，那么你需要用300镑的价格找到承租人。

学校很安全

原文：we are confident that our campus, teaching spaces and facilities are safe

此时此刻，英国人最爱的就是摆数据了。到底学校安全吗？根据目前UK Gov提供的数据，过去7天，英国的新冠感染率是7.7%左右。那么根据unicovid.uk提供的数据报表可以得知，UCL的感染率是1.26%，所以相比7.7% 学校肯定是安全的！
