This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The arrangement of graduation ceremonies is a matter for individual universities, and not the Government or Parliament. You should contact your university to see what arrangements they have made for graduation.
