Lindsey Wilson College became Lindsey Wilson University on July 1, 2026, making the combined winter and spring 2025-26 class the first group of graduates to earn a Lindsey Wilson University diploma. The 6pmCT, ceremony on Friday, May 1, 2026, will honor graduates of Lindsey Wilson's extended and online programs; the 10amCT ceremony on Saturday, May 2, 2026, will honor graduates of the university's A.P.

Graduates have been allotted tickets for guests in attendance. Combined with 945 degrees awarded at last December's winter commencement, Lindsey Wilson will award 1,444 degrees to the Class of 2025-26, making it the second-largest class in school history. Three members of the Class of 2026 will give addresses at the spring ceremonies. Shawn L. Gardner of Louisville, will speak at the May 1 ceremony. Gardner will graduate with a master of education degree in counseling. Gardner is the founder and president of 2not1: Fatherhood & Families, Inc., a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote the safety and well-being of children by implementing strategies to keep fathers involved and families together. At the 10amCT ceremony on May 2, Zachariah Lawson of Williamsburg, Kentucky, will give the student address. Lawson, who will graduate with a bachelor of arts in English, has served two terms as the Lindsey Wilson student body president.
