Graduation FAQ

We hold graduation ceremonies each month. To confirm their exact graduation date graduates should reach out to their Academic Coach/Student Advisor.

We hold all campus ceremonies in our beautiful Main Theatre located at 6363 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90028. This historic building once housed Elvis’ private recording studio and seats over 300 guests.

Yes! We will stream the on-campus ceremonies to our website at lafilm.edu/live for any friends or family who may not be able to attend in person.

At this time graduates are limited to three (3) guest tickets each. This number is due to theatre capacity, contingent on current COVID safety protocols, and subject to change. Graduates may reserve tickets for their guests online at the link sent to them via email one month prior to their graduation.

Cap and gown will be available for pick up for those attending the on-campus ceremony at our monthly Graduate Information Session held about ten (10) days before graduation. Online students participating in the virtual graduation ceremony will be sent detailed instructions on how to order their grad package for delivery.

If you cannot attend the Graduate Information Session, we will have them available for pick up the morning of graduation.

Diplomas will be mailed directly to graduates at the address provided on their graduation application, approximately 8-10 weeks following their graduation ceremony. For diploma related inquiries please email Registrar@lafilm.edu.
