Graduation Application

Application for Graduation 2020-2021

Requirements

Please refer to your program handbook for degree requirements, academic standing policies, and residency policies that apply to graduation. All program handbooks are available online.

Process

Make an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss your plans prior to the start of your last term in LPS.
Submit a graduation application (see below).
Your record will be audited by your advisor(s) to verify that you have completed all degree requirements.
LPS will inform you by email if you are on track to graduate or if there are any obstacles to your graduation in the term for which you have applied.
Your graduation will be posted on your academic record once you have completed all degree requirements, including completion of work in your final term.
If you are not approved to graduate in the term for which you originally apply, you will need to apply again for graduation in a different (future) term. We cannot defer or roll forward graduation applications to future terms. There is no fee associated with graduation applications.
