Candidates for Graduation

Candidates who complete their course of study and expect to graduate must submit an online Declaration of Intent to Graduate via the Lesley Online Information Service (LOIS). The online declaration must be submitted by the deadlines listed below. No exception to these dates will be made. Any student not filing the declaration by the appropriate deadline is ineligible for that conferral period. Approximately two months before the filing deadline for each conferral, the Office of the University Registrar will send a communication to all currently-enrolled degree candidates who have completed a certain number of credits toward their degree, informing them of the process.

The degree completion fee is $75.00 (subject to change) and will be billed to the student's account when the declaration of intent is completed. Please note: all candidates for conferral must submit the Declaration of Intent to Graduate form, regardless of their plans to participate in the May commencement ceremony.

Lesley offers four conferral periods per academic year (February, May, August, and November):
