Celebrate

You're about to reach the biggest milestone of your academic career — graduation!

All the years of working hard have paid off and now your big day is just around the corner.

This site is your resource for everything graduation related, from ordering your cap and gown to details about the official ceremony.

You Earned It!

Our Ring Ceremony celebrates the bond between all UL graduates. Students and past graduates are presented with the rings they ordered by President Savoie during the ceremony.

The night before the ceremony, the rings are loaded onto a custom-built metal pirogue to spend the night on the water, guarded by students.

Congratulations, Class of 2023
