Apply to graduate

Why you need to apply

• Your application is used to confirm your name for your certificate or diploma. Make sure to double-check the spelling of your name and that your mailing address is correct on your MyLakeland account.
• We need to know if you are attending so we can plan and prepare for the ceremonies (even a virtual one). There's a lot of behind the scenes work. For example, we review academic records and prepare parchments.
  • Please note: deadline to apply to attend convocation was April 1. You can still apply for your parchment which will be prepared and mailed to you following the convocation ceremonies.
• Even if you don't plan to attend convocation, you'd probably still like to have your parchment.

Apply for your credential (even if you are not attending convocation)
