Students are expected to fulfill the curriculum requirements (including prerequisites required for admission) of the catalog year in effect at the time they matriculate to LLU. Subject to department approval, students may choose to complete degree requirements outlined in any CATALOG in effect during terms in which they are registered as accepted students in the selected program. A Change of Catalog form must be submitted no later than the deadline for submission of the Petition for Graduation for Graduate and Professional Programs or Undergraduate Intent to Graduate form.
Submission deadlines are provided on these forms. Revisions to a student’s program cannot be made during a student’s final term. Inactive students, who have either formally withdrawn from a program or been administratively withdrawn for whatever reason, and who subsequently re-apply to a program, are subject to the program requirements published in the CATALOG in effect at the time of re-entry. For additional information, consult the full policy in the LLU policies available through LLUH One Portal.
Academic service learning is an education practice that takes learning into the community. A reciprocal relationship develops as students work with the community to identify areas of focus and implement projects. Connecting classroom curricula with community needs deepens students’ engagement in the community while enabling them to develop mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional capacities. Involvement engages students in critical thinking, community relationship building, practical action, leadership, and reflection useful in their professional lives.
All students in degree programs (associate through doctoral) are required to complete an approved academic service-learning course prior to graduation. Courses currently approved to meet this requirement are as follows:

The minimum cumulative G.P.A. required is 2.0 for an undergraduate degree and 3.0 for a graduate degree, with no grade on an individual course less than specified by the school offering the degree program. See scholastic standards section of this CATALOG for details.
Responsibility for meeting graduation requirements rests primarily upon the student. Therefore, students should read and understand the requirements as set forth in this CATALOG and consult carefully with their advisor to plan a sequence of courses each term that fulfills these requirements. A student's program of study is governed by the requirements listed in the University CATALOG at the time of admission; however, when circumstances demand, the University reserves the right to make changes with reference to admission, registration, tuition and fees, attendance, curriculum requirements, conduct, academic standing, candidacy, and graduation.
The undergraduate who plans to graduate must submit an Undergraduate Intent to Graduate form two quarters prior to graduation, except for Summer Quarter graduation, which requires submission three quarters prior. Graduate students must submit a Graduation Petition for graduate and professional programs. See the form for submission deadlines.
The candidate completing requirements in the Spring Quarter is expected to be present at commencement exercises. Permission for the degree to be conferred in absentia is contingent upon recommendation by the dean of the school in which the student is enrolled to the provost, and can be granted only by the provost. If a candidate has not satisfactorily fulfilled all requirements, the University reserves the right to prohibit participation in commencement exercises.
When the profession is named in the degree title, or when the degree is indicated by the school name, no other designation is included on the official diploma issued to the graduate. When the profession or major is not named in the degree title, the profession or specialization is also indicated on the official diploma.
