Rejected petition Allow university students to have in person graduation in 2021

Force university to hold an in person graduation, even if it is outside.

More details

I am a 3rd year student who is supposed to graduate this year and would like to have an in person graduation as opposed to a virtual one. Football matches, the Brit awards and the current event that was held in Liverpool were allowed to go ahead. Celebrities shouldn’t be allowed more freedoms that student just because they’re rich. It’s bad enough we have to pay £9000 a year but to have paid £27000 and not be able to experience graduation is disgusting.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about whether to hold graduation ceremonies are a matter for individual universities, not the Government or House of Commons.
