Explanation of Non-Program Fees

Application Fees

A $45 application fee must accompany each application for admission. After the records are processed and are complete, the applicant will be written regarding his acceptance. He will then be required to pay a reservation fee of $250 within three weeks to hold his reservation. Neither the application fee nor the reservation fee is refundable unless the University cancels the student's reservation. In this case, only the $250 is refunded.

Graduation

Graduation fees include the cost of the diploma and the rental of academic regalia and are payable in full whether the candidate receives the degree in person or in absentia. Diplomas for the May and August graduation dates are ordered from the engraver in February. After a student's diploma is ordered, he must pay the full graduation fee no later than May 5. The reorder fee must be paid at the time the reorder is placed with the Records Office.
