Graduation Information

Students invited to apply for 2022 Commencement

This year students will have the opportunity to participate in commencement in one of two locations: Tampa, FL, or in Savannah, GA. A completed application is required to participate in a commencement ceremony.

While Saint Leo University anticipates holding in-person Commencement ceremonies in 2022, new developments with the COVID-19 pandemic may require us to modify our plans.

Florida Commencement Ceremony

The Florida Commencement events and ceremony will be held on May 13 and 14, 2022 at University Campus and the Florida State Fairgrounds-Expo Hall in Tampa. Registration for the Florida ceremony is closed. Applications for the 2023 ceremony will open in November.
