All courses must be completed, final grades recorded and university requirements fulfilled in order for a degree to be awarded.
There are four degree award dates (August, December, January, and May). Degrees are formally conferred at December and May commencements. Students with January degree dates participate in the December commencement. Students with an August degree date must consult with the Office of the Registrar to determine participation. The actual date of graduation will be recorded on the permanent records.
Students who plan to transfer back to Pacific Lutheran University for a degree must apply for graduation before or during the first semester of their junior year so that deficiencies may be met before they leave campus.
