Following the formal program, a one-of-a-kind live display of LSU’s newest graduates’ names will be posted in Tiger Stadium. Details about the timing for each college’s graduates and how to access the live feed will be released as the event approaches.
LSU has created a Graduation Celebration webpage, where graduates can find suggestions for ways to celebrate from a distance with loved ones, can download virtual campus backgrounds, listen to the official celebration playlist, find the perfect graduation Giphy, decorate a mortar board for Instagram, follow along with #LSUGrad, and much more.

All spring graduates will have the opportunity to walk during a future LSU commencement. As usual, spring graduates’ names will be listed on the LSU commencement website by hometown for newspapers to pull graduates’ names from their areas. The lists will be available on May 15 on lsu.edu/commencement.
