Re: Seeking input re: fee structure and joint-degree diploma

Hello! I'm not sure if this comparison is helpful, but for Carroll...

Official transcripts are $10 each through NSC no matter the delivery method -- we "eat" the processing fee and then also the PDF fee if they choose to send electronic and it's not through the exchange, so we actually collect $6.50 - $7.50 per transcript.

Unofficial transcripts are free to download as PDFs through our Self Service.

Graduation fee is $150 at the time of application (charged to their student account), and that covers everything -- regalia (we order for them), diploma and diploma cover, class brick, and then event set-up and publication costs. With many of these costs rising over the last several years we have considered increasing this to $175 per student but decided to hold off this year because of the current circumstances.

We do not officially offer dual degree programs, however in the event that a student earns two degrees (BA and then later a BS; or BA with an AA, though these have now been discontinued) we post the degrees separately on the transcript and send them two separate diplomas. I guess my question back to them would be -- is joint-degree printing the desired documentation on the diploma for employment reasons or display (frame-worthy) reasons? If the first, it seems like how it's posted on the transcript and reported to NSC for degree verify reasons would matter more.

Best,

Cassie

Hello,

 

Miles Community College charges the following rates for transcripts:

 

Standard Mail $3.00 each

Fax (for Montana colleges/universities) $13.00 each

Unofficial, no charge.

 

MCC does not charge a fee at the time a student applies to graduate. We have a per credit fee built into our mandatory fees that students pay throughout their time at MCC and that fund is used to order caps, gowns, diplomas, etc.

 

Take care,

Jordan

Hello,

 

For The Graduate School at MSU Bozeman:

 

We charge the general graduation fee of $40 one time per degree and charge an auditing fee of $20 every time a student applies to graduate (even for the same degree over and over again). If a student applies for more than one degree (say a masters and then a doctoral degree) we would charge the $40 again.

 

Best,

Lauren

Dear MACRAO colleagues,

 

I'm seeking your input and guidance in two areas:

 

1. Could you please let us know what and how your institution charges for the following?  We're trying to meet a deadline of 10/21/2020 to submit any changes/updates to our current fee practices:

1. Transcript fee
2. Graduation fee

2. Program administrators from our Master of Public Administration (MPA) and Master of Public Health (MPH) have inquired about processing a joint-degree diploma (e.g. listing both degrees on ONE diploma).  They claim that students wish for this type of documentation.  My staff and I were perplexed by the request.  Since they're two separate degrees, I don't see how or why we would do such a thing.  Does anyone have any information or insight about this?  My hunch is that students don't want to submit two different graduation applications.  Hence, one of the many reasons we're reconsidering our graduation application fee structure and process. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Best regards,

Maria
