No More Fee to Apply For Graduation!

A new Student Completion Fee was added beginning Fall Quarter 2015. This fee, $.50 per credit, charged up to 10 credits (maximum $5.00 per quarter), was added to replace the previous $20.00 fee to apply for graduation. The process for applying to graduate has not changed, the only difference is instead of taking the application to the Cashier, students can mail or bring their application for graduation directly to the front desk in Enrollment & Financial Aid Services.

An additional benefit to this new fee is that beginning this quarter every student will receive the first two official transcripts they order free. That’s right – the first two official transcripts are completely FREE!
