Liberty University Online Academy Graduation Ceremony

For more information concerning graduation 2023, you may refer to the Liberty University Commencement website. You can also email OnlineAcademyEvents@liberty.edu with any additional questions. In the meantime, check out some important information about graduation below.

No. All LUOA students, even if they are dual-enrolled or on an AA track, will participate only in the LUOA-specific ceremony, not the department of their track.

For a student to qualify for participation in the graduation ceremonies, they must be considered a full-time senior by February 1 of the graduating year. For example, a student who is looking to participate in LUOA’s May 2023 commencement exercises must be considered a full-time senior by February 1, 2023. Students and parents may contact advising to determine if they are eligible to participate.

Yes. There is a $50 fee for all students – whether they participate in commencement activities or not. This will be added to the student’s account in February. This fee covers things such as the diploma, diploma covers, shipping costs, transcripts, etc., and will need to be paid prior to the student receiving their diploma or final transcript.

Students do not receive their diplomas at graduation. Once their last class is completed, their courses are reviewed – and if it is determined that they have met all necessary requirements, their degree is conferred and processed.

No. At this time, Liberty University has not put any limits on how many can attend graduation. Tickets are not required to attend.

We would suggest that you start making hotel reservations now. Because this ceremony is for the entire university, the rooms fill up very fast. 

Other accommodations (if you are finding that hotels are already booked) can be found through Airbnb or Vrbo.com.
