Loyola confers degrees in May, August, and December. After grades are received, the university determines graduation grade point averages and distinctions. Subsequently, the Office of Student Records posts the degrees and distinctions to transcripts and provides the students with their diplomas. Diplomas and transcripts are not released until the student has discharged all financial and contractual obligations to the university and has completed the required senior exit survey.
Deadlines for drop/add activity are strictly enforced. A dropped course is removed from the student’s record. Registration for the audit grading option may be selected by students, with approval of the instructor, during any registration activity or the drop/add period and may not be changed at a later date.
The diploma given to students upon graduation carries the university information, student’s name, university distinctions, and degree title. Diplomas will be released only to students who have discharged their financial and legal obligations to the university and who have completed the required exit surveys.
Replacement diplomas are available upon written request. There is a charge of $25.00 for duplicate diplomas. Please contact Mrs. Susan Brunson (brunson@loyno.edu) or call 504-865-3237 for further information.

In order to remain in good academic standing, a student must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher. A student whose gpa falls below 3.0 will be placed on academic probation. A student on probation usually has one semester (fall, spring or summer) to remove the deficiency. If the deficiency is not removed in the allotted time, the student may not be eligible to continue in the program. The final decision to allow a probationary student to remain in the program will be made by the department chairperson.
