The University of Aberdeen is bringing in ticket charges for families to attend student graduation ceremonies.
Graduates previously received two free tickets for family or friends. They will now be charged £13.20 per ticket.
The university said it was unable to continue funding the cost of the ceremonies, which are being held next month Aberdeen's P&J Live arena.
But student leaders said families who are struggling financially could miss out on the experience.
Aberdeen University Students' Association has called for a meeting with the university over the charges.
Association president, Vanessa Mabonso Nzolo, said they had not been consulted about the changes.
"We want to know what possible concessions there are for students' families," she said.
"The university's slogan is "open to all", and that's something we are championing.
"We are trying to make sure that all our students have access to everything, and the student experience is equal.
"With these changes to the tickets, more expenses are piling up on graduations and that is really turning away from the value of education being open for all."
