Graduation Application

• Your graduation application is your official notification to Life University that you intend on graduating. It is mandatory to submit your application whether you intend on participating in a ceremony or not. There is no fee to submit your application or participate in the graduation ceremony.
• Your graduation application contains important information such as how you want your name to appear on your diploma and your post-graduation delivery address for mailing your diploma.
• If your anticipated graduation quarter changes, you must:
  1. Fill out and submit the “Extended Graduation Form.”
  2. Notify the Registrar’s office at LURegistrar@LIFE.edu that you have changed your anticipated graduation term.

Submit your graduation application in EagleNet by clicking “Academics” then “Graduation Application”.

Life University holds four commencement ceremonies: March, June, September, and December. More ceremony details can be found here.
