Graduation Fee

There is a $45 graduation fee (or $60 during the late period) for each graduation application. The fee is applied to your student account in GrizPortal once your application has been processed. A separate fee is charged for each degree/certificate application.

The graduation application fee contributes to the cost of the commencement ceremony. In addition, the fee pays for diplomas, diploma covers, shipping costs, graduation evaluation, and the electronic degree audit system, Degree Works.

Multiple Degrees/Certificates

Students applying for multiple baccalaureate degrees must submit a separate application and fee for each degree and complete an additional 30 credits for each subsequent baccalaureate degree. For example, 150 credits are required for two degrees, 180 for three, etc.

Diplomas are mailed to the address provided on your graduation application after your degree has been awarded. Degree awarding takes place during the 2 to 3 weeks after the commencement ceremony, and diploma shipping takes about 4 to 5 weeks after.

The Office of the Registrar does not keep extra diploma copies on file. However, you may order a replacement diploma using the .
