The graduation requirements for the conferring of diplomas and Christian degrees are as follows:

- Undergraduate students must have maintained a 2.0 or greater cumulative grade point average (GPA). Graduate students must have maintained a 3.0 or greater cumulative GPA while attending at the graduate level.
- Each student must download, complete, and submit a Ministry Practicum Activity Log documenting their volunteer work for their local church. Please see the Ministry Practicum page for policies and procedures.
- Each student must have paid all tuition and fees before certificates or diplomas and transcripts can be issued.
- Many students choose to walk in their graduation ceremony when receiving their Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctoral degrees. Graduating students are invited to attend the annual commencement at LCU Main Campus in Tampa, Florida which typically takes place in early June. Those wishing to do so must download and complete a Gown Request Form and pay a $40 gown rental fee. This form and payment must be submitted to your Student Advisor at least 8 weeks prior to the scheduled graduation exercise.
