Complete Your Degree Requirements
After you have applied to graduate, you will need to complete your degree requirements. This includes finishing incomplete work, courses outside Cal Lutheran, exams and more.
How to Complete Your Degree Requirements
- Login to MyCLU and click on Student Planning under Self-Service.
- Review the information in My Progress to see your remaining degree requirements. Keep checking back continually until there are no remaining requirements listed.
- Take note of the semester or term that you complete your final degree requirements — this will influence the next steps in the graduation process.
Additional Guidelines
- All degree programs have a total credit requirement, GPA requirement and course requirement. It is important that you fulfill each of these areas.
- In addition to the requirements listed in your program evaluation, all degrees must fulfill the basic graduation requirements in their catalog year. Go to the academic catalog to review graduation requirements for your degree level.
- All Incomplete and In-Progress grades from previous terms need to have an appropriate letter grade. If this applies to you, check with the instructor of the course to submit a grade change. View your grades
- If you have taken courses that need to be substituted for a required degree course, you should work with your Academic Adviser or Program Director to submit the required substitution form.
- Doctoral and Master's degree students must complete requirements with a seven-year period.
- Traditional undergraduate students must refer to the Senior Degree Audit in conjunction with these 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.
- If you have already submitted your Degree Application and need to update your information, fill out this Graduation Application Update Request Form
