UNable to attend Commencement in person? Join us for a momentous occasion as we celebrate the achievements of our graduating class at Lourdes University’s Spring 2025 Commencement. The live stream event will take place on May 10, 2025, starting at 1:00 p.m. in the Russell J. Ebeid Recreation Center.
You may wonder, “Why must I apply to graduate? Shouldn’t the University know?” While we have a good idea when students are close to completing their academic requirements, only students know the exact semester they intend to finish. When students apply to graduate, we begin auditing their degree requirements, allowing us to communicate information about the commencement ceremony.
Here are your quick steps to graduate:
Lourdes University has three graduation periods each academic year, one for each term—Summer, Fall, and Spring. Students must apply to graduate during the term in which they intend to finish their academic requirements.
Undergraduate and graduate students must submit their applications by the deadlines listed below. See the “Undergraduate Degree Applicants” and “Graduate Degree Applicants” for specific information about how to apply.
Undergraduate students must work with their academic advisors to complete the paper application. Undergraduate applications are also available for pick-up in the Registrar’s Office. Applications must be completed and returned to the Registrar’s Office by the deadline.
A fee is required with your application, regardless of your intent to participate in the ceremony. The fee can be paid to the Cashier’s Office in person. An application will be considered incomplete if the fee is not paid.
Graduate students must submit the online application by the deadline. The online application will be sent to each student’s graduate program director for preliminary review, and the program director will forward the application to the Registrar’s Office.
