Nottingham Trent University (NTU) have announced that due to government guidelines, their 2020 graduation ceremonies will be postponed until 2021.
NTU postponed the summer graduation ceremonies earlier this year, hoping to carry them out in winter or in the new year.
However, due to an increase in coronavirus cases and restrictions imposed the government, the university has taken the decision to delay the ceremonies again.

In an email circulated to all graduating students, NTU said: “Celebrating your success is a highlight in our NTU calendar and we know just how important it is to you and those close to you.
“Informed by Government guidelines, we have done a huge amount of work to consider how we can facilitate socially distanced ceremonies.”
They added: “It has become clear however that some level of social distancing will still be in place until the end of the year, and we have therefore come to the difficult conclusion that going ahead with ceremonies this year would mean too many compromises to the experience for our graduates.
“Following our previous decision to postpone 2020ās summer graduation ceremonies, NTU has reluctantly taken the decision to postpone all 2020 graduation ceremonies until 2021.”
After postponing graduation ceremonies in summer, NTU revealed they would reschedule the event “rapidly, when the time is right”, facilitated by their use of University Hall.
Confirmation of when the rescheduled events will take place will be announced in due course.
