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

For transcripts Western charges $10 per copy

Graduation Fee is $30 if they apply by certain dates.  We apply an extra $10 Late fee for the month after the initial deadline has passed.  Our goal of the late fee is to encourage students to apply on time so we can have a better grasp of our numbers and making sure they get the information they need..  Seems to have helps with at least our Bachelor degree applications.

 

While we are working on a double major policy to address CPOS (i.e. two major focuses under Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science whichever is appropriate) if it is two distinct degrees (i.e. BS and BA) the student has to apply for both degrees and pay two separate graduation fees.

 

Hope that helps.

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

 

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
