Students who have waited since last year to graduate in person have been told the ceremony has been delayed by another 12 months.
The University of Lincoln said events due to take place at Lincoln Cathedral in September would be held virtually.
However, a large-scale ceremony is planned for next April, it said.
Students have urged university chiefs to reconsider, and an online petition opposing the move has attracted more than 5,000 signatures.
Harry Badman and Elise Fischer, who both completed a business and marketing course at the university last year, were behind the campaign.
