Graduation Application
Graduation Application Checklist
All Students
Please complete the following steps to initiate the graduation application process:
- Begin the graduation application process in LOCUS. You will be asked to enter your expected graduation term and to verify your majors and minors. If your major or minor is not correctly specified, please go to your college or school office to complete the change of major or minor form.
- Your diploma will be mailed to your permanent address as recorded in LOCUS. Please verify that your permanent address in LOCUS is accurate. If you wish to have your diploma mailed to another address, please complete the Temporary Diploma Mailing Address form (PDF) and e-mail it to: diploma@luc.edu.
- Check LOCUS for any holds that would delay the receipt of your diploma.
- Complete the Declaration of Intent to Graduate form (PDF) and submit it to your school or college office.
Remember: In preparation for the final degree audit, go to LOCUS to verify that all transfer credits have been posted to your academic record.
Graduate Students
You will be charged once per degree application. Your school's office will accept a check or direct you to the Bursar's Office. Take your Declaration of Intent to Graduate form and a check to the Bursar's Office. They will stamp the form and provide you with a receipt to take to your school. Graduate graduation fees are not posted to your student account.
