In the spirit of Responsible Stewardship and
also making things more convenient for the
students, the graduation application can be
completed online. The fee is still the same,
but the convenience is greater.
Simply log into the Saint Leo Portal at
my.saintleo.edu and navigate within E-Lion
to the student menu. Under the Academic
Profile section on the right side of the page,
click on Application for Graduation-Degree Conferral.

SLU ID CARD
When communicating with Saint
Leo Staff, please have your

Where is my Diploma?
Diplomas are sent to the student’s address
that was submitted on the graduation
application. Diplomas are sent out within 46 weeks of the final grade being posted. It is
important to ensure you have a zero balance
in your student financial record as this will
hold up the conferral of your degree. As
diplomas are no longer sent to the centers
first, it is imperative that students ensure
the correct address is on record. Do it right
the first time so you don’t go bananas!
