Apply to Graduate

Your first responsibility in the graduation process is to confirm that you have completed or will complete all of your degree requirements by monitoring your progress in MyCLU. 

Then, you must submit your degree application and fee, which informs Cal Lutheran of your intent to graduate in the semester or term that you will complete all degree requirements.

How to Apply to Graduate

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 Self-Service.
2. Choose Graduation Overview and select 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 24-48 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.
