Graduation Checklist

Review your Degree Audit report to confirm that degree and program requirements are met. Items with a "NOT MET" status should alert you that you may not qualify to graduate and/or walk in May Commencement. It is your responsibility to read, understand, and comply with the degree requirements printed in the LMU Bulletin and to take action to address all outstanding issues before the degree-granting date.

Run a new Degree Audit report every semester before you meet with your advisor. Find your Degree Audit Report: "Systems Logins" tab of MyLMU under "DegreeWorks."

Check and clear all your university holds. A student's hold can be viewed on PROWL by selecting "View Holds" from the Registration menu. It is important that you contact the appropriate office to clear any holds.

Students inform LMU of their intent to graduate by submitting an application for degree; the University does not submit applications for students. All applicants file for degree in the term in which they qualify to graduate. Read more.

Apply for Degree

A degree application must be filed for a student to be considered eligible for degree. Degrees are conferred during the term that all coursework is completed. Students should apply for a degree for the term in which all requirements will be met. If you are unsure about which term to choose for your degree application, students are encouraged to meet with their advisors to ensure appropriate timing.

Application filing deadlines can be found on the Office of the Registrar's Graduation Services page.
