Graduation and Matriculation Fees

Undergraduate Student Graduation Fee

There is a one-time graduation fee of $60 that is charged to all undergraduate student accounts once a student completes for his or her 90th credit hour. For ABSN students this fee is charged upon completion for the student's 35th credit hour.

The graduation fee covers the cost of the diploma and cover, program expenses, mailing fees, and other expenses associated with graduation. All graduates are listed in the Commencement Program and all graduates must pay the fee, regardless of attendance at the ceremony.

Students who participate in the commencement ceremony will still pay the costs to purchase or rent regalia.

Graduate Student Matriculation Fee

Students are charged a one-time matriculation fee of $100 that combines administrative fees and graduation fees for graduate students.

The one-time matriculation fee is paid during the first term (semester or quarter) of enrollment for master’s or doctoral degree-granting students, and the fee is posted to student accounts automatically.

Certificate and non-degree students will not be charged a matriculation fee.

There is no fee associated with an application for graduation for a master’s or doctoral degree. Students who do not graduate as expected, but plan to graduate during a future term, are still required to complete and submit a new application for graduation to their Dean’s Office. There will be no fee associated with re-applying for graduation.

Students who participate in the commencement ceremony will still pay the costs to purchase or rent regalia.

Note: The Graduation and/or Matriculation Fees do not apply to Law students.
