Graduation at Saint Leo University

Saint Leo University graduates and their families will hear from two distinguished speakers from the worlds of government and business during morning and afternoon commencement ceremonies to be held at the main campus on Saturday, May 2.

Two ceremonies are needed to accommodate the estimated 775 degree recipients participating, and their families. Both programs are held in the Marion Bowman Activities Center.

A morning ceremony is scheduled at 9 a.m. to award a mix of undergraduate and graduate degrees. The participants have studied through Saint Leo’s Center for Online Learning, through Weekend and Evening programs, or various master’s degree programs.

Those attending the morning ceremony will be addressed by former Florida Governor Bob Martinez.

New students enrolled in the Center for Online Learning qualify for Saint Leo University’s COL Values Grant Program provided they have a minimum of one class for six consecutive eight-week terms. This grant removes $132 per class, totally almost $800 in benefits over one academic year. So long as a student continues enrollment in the Center for Online Learning, this grant may be renewed up until the point of obtaining an Associate’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree.
