The Main Ceremony

Louisiana State University does not conduct a Main Ceremony in December. All degrees are conferred at the diploma ceremonies. Doctoral Candidates will receive diplomas and be invested with their hoods at the individual diploma ceremonies.

Parking

Parking on campus for graduation is available in all student lots at no charge and with no permits required. Graduates and their guests should plan to arrive early to avoid traffic delays.

Photographs and Videos

Photographs are taken at individual diploma ceremonies only. See GradTrak for more information.

Guests may use personal cameras and camcorders in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, but guests are not allowed on the floor where the graduates are seated during the Main Ceremony.

University videographers capture video for the Spring and Summer commencements only. At this time, the video covers only the Main Ceremony. * To order videotapes or DVDs please use the Graduation Video Order Form. For additional information contact Digital Imaging at 225/578-2226 .
