Commencement Update

The LCU graduation ceremonies scheduled for December 12, 2020 have been rescheduled to accompany the scheduled ceremonies on May 8, 2021. Required Registration for December graduates is now closed.

No registration is required for May graduates.

Because of the need to social distance and comply with city and state requirements, each graduate will receive eight guests' tickets. The graduate will not need a ticket and will be admitted with their cap and gown. The undergraduates' escorts will be admitted with their white escort gowns (master's graduates do not have escorts). Tickets will be mailed using the address on the RSVP sign-up. Masks are required at this event.
