A university in Wales is offering students a 10% discount on their halls fees due to the disruption to teaching in a pandemic hit year.
The National Union of Students Wales (NUS Wales) said students "shouldn't be penalised financially" for following lockdown rules in Wales.
The Welsh Government said universities should have staggered returns to help stop the virus spreading in student accommodation.
The NUS want partial refunds for university accommodation because they are not spending as much time there due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Bangor University has agreed to a partial refund.
The university said: "Bangor University, working with its Students’ Union, has agreed to offer students a 10% reduction on their Halls fees for the current year."
Cardiff Metropolitan University told BBC Wales that students living in university-operated halls would be given rebates for the weeks where all of their lectures and seminars had been held online.
