Applying to Graduate

To move forward in the graduation process, you must inform Cal Lutheran of your intent to graduate in the semester or term that you will complete all degree requirements and coursework. This is done by submitting a degree application and graduation fee.

How to Submit Your Degree Application and Fee

Please note that if you are in a credential program, you do not need to submit a Degree Application.

1. Login to MyCLU and click on Student Planning under Self-Service.
2. Select Graduation Overview and choose your Program of Study (confirm that your major and degree are accurate; if you are earning a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts, you will need to submit an application for both programs).
3. Select your Expected Graduation Term (the term/semester when you will complete your final degree requirements).
4. Verify the accuracy of your Diploma Name and Diploma Mailing Address and make any necessary edits (you may request an official address change at any time).
5. Click the button to Submit Your Application.
6. Check your Cal Lutheran email account for next steps, including instructions for paying your graduation fee.
7. Allow up to 24 hours for your application to be available for payment in the graduation fee payment portal, to ensure that the correct fee is shown. 
   
   

Application and Fee Deadlines

The graduation fee is $130 if paid by the priority deadline and $160 thereafter. 

Important Guidelines

• Submission of an application does not confirm eligibility for graduation. All students submitting a degree application will have their eligibility for graduation verified to confirm completion of all degree requirements.
• If you change your major or specialization/emphasis after you apply, you may need to re-submit your application.
