Most of Wales universities say they are delaying a return to in-person teaching because of the new coronavirus variant.
The Welsh Government has resisted calls for a Wales-wide timetable for students returning.
The National Union of Students (NUS) said students were confused and anxious and called on the Welsh Government to give a crystal clear message.
The Welsh Government said institutions would look at individual circumstances within national guidance as part of a phased return from 11 January.

Children without access to a laptop are being denied support for home-schooling by means testing, a charity says.
But Child Poverty Action Group in Wales said some schools were only offering help to children on free school meals.
The Welsh Government said it had distributed over 74,000 devices to local authorities and 58,000 more were expected within weeks.
Ellie Harwood from the charity told BBC Radio Wales: We ve been hearing that not everyone who needs these devices has been able to get them.
