University students in Wales are unlikely to have summer graduation ceremonies for a second year due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Aberystwyth is the latest university to postpone its ceremonies because of uncertainty about when large-scale events can go ahead.
The National Union of Students in Wales said it was upsetting for students .
But a spokesperson for Universities Wales said the decision had not been taken lightly by universities.
No graduation ceremonies were able to take place in Wales last year and many universities had also hoped to hold delayed ceremonies for 2020 students this summer.

A silent vigil planned for this weekend in Cardiff after the death of Sarah Everard will now move entirely online, say organisers.
However, a Carmarthen vigil is set to go ahead.
Organisers of the Cardiff vigil took to Facebook to share their great disappointment that we have had to make the difficult decision to move this event entirely online for tomorrow, as opposed to in person . After careful consideration (and much much bigger numbers than we ever expected!) we must respect that we are still under lockdown restrictions and in a pandemic, and neither one of us want anyone to put their health or the health of those they love at adverse risk, they said.

Delays to face-to-face teaching are another blow to university students in Wales who already feel cut off from their studies , a union has said.
Students on most courses have been asked to stay at home until Easter, meaning they will complete at least a third of the current academic year remotely.
The National Union of Students (NUS) in Wales wants more help for them.
The Welsh Government said it had given £50m to help students in hardship.
NUS Wales president Becky Ricketts said it was vital students received the mental health, academic and financial support they needed to get through the next few months.
