Graduation Processing Fee
Students in our MBA program are charged a one-time graduation processing fee in the term when they reach 21 total credits. This fee is non-refundable and will be displayed on the student's bill.
For 2024-25, the one-time fee is $85.
- What will the processing fee be used for?
- The costs of graduation and commencement includes extensive staff time to plan and organize multiple events that involve thousands of students, parents, friends and guests along with the costs of processing and mailing of diplomas and transcripts. The processing fee contributes to these rising costs.
- Is UW-Eau Claire the only university to have this fee?
- For many years UW-Eau Claire was one of the few universities in the UW System without a graduation fee. Fees for graduation at regional comprehensive universities in the UW System range from $38 at UW-La Crosse to $100 at UW-Stout. This fee applies to all students and is non-refundable.
- What if I do not intend to participate in commencement? Do I still need to pay the fee?
- Yes, the processing fee supports not only the commencement ceremony, but also assists all students in better preparing and celebrating their graduation.
- What if I do not pay the fee?
- Like any other university fee, registering for classes and receiving academic transcripts requires that your outstanding balance is paid.
