Graduation and Commencement

In order to be considered for graduation, all students must submit a current Application for Graduation Audit during the last semester in which they are registered for classes or on matriculation maintenance. LIM College has three undergraduate graduating classes per year: January, May and August. One Commencement ceremony is held in May for all three graduating classes. August graduation is for students who have a maximum of 12 course hours to complete during the summer in order to fulfill degree requirements. These course hours must be among LIM College’s summer course offerings. Any required course(s) that LIM College does not offer in the summer that must be taken in the fall disqualifies the student from August graduation. Students removed from the current graduation year list must reapply for the next available graduation year and date.

Only students who have submitted a completed Application for Graduation Audit by the due date will be guaranteed seating at the Commencement ceremony and inclusion in the Commencement program. Neither participation in the Commencement ceremony nor inclusion in the Commencement program guarantees that a student has completed the requirements for graduation. The Application for Graduation Audit is sent from the Office of the Registrar via the student’s LIM College email account. Students are expected to check their LIM College email accounts frequently.
