Students graduate from the Center once they have completed their full course of study and have met all requirements. Graduates are immediately eligible for all graduate benefits such as job placement assistance, joining many professional paralegal associations, and sitting for the Certified Legal Assistant (CLA) exam.

Commencement ceremonies are held bi-annually and recognize the accomplishments and successes garnered during a student’s course of study. During Commencement, students who have met their graduation requirements receive their Paralegal Certificate or Associate of Applied Science Degree along with Honor Certificates and certificates of induction into Lambda Epsilon Chi, the national paralegal honor society sponsored by the American Association for Paralegal Education.

The Honor Certificate is the highest academic honor awarded at the Center. Students who achieve 100% attendance and 95% or higher grade point average during their entire course of study at the Center receive an Honor Certificate during Commencement.

Lambda Epsilon Chi (LEX) is a national honor society established by the American Association for Paralegal Education. The purpose of LEX is to recognize persons who have demonstrated superior academic performance.

The Center’s standards for induction include achievement of an overall 95% grade point average and 95% attendance average. Students inducted into LEX must have completed no less than two-thirds of the course requirements and no more than 20% of all eligible students shall be inducted. Induction into LEX takes place quarterly.
