[Oacrao-l] Commencement

[Langston, Ginna]

Hi, Kristie,
We charge a one-time fee to all first time freshmen and included in that fee is their graduation fee (whether they graduate or not), and various other items such as transcripts.  Our commencement program only lists the student's name and degree - so we'll have a header of Bachelor of Science in Petoleum Engineering and then all PE degree recipients are listed.
Our students are given a diploma cover at commencement. Inside the cover is a letter from our alumni office and a bumper sticker that says they are an alum.   The individual colleges have receptions the day before commencement and we have cake and punch after commencement.
We print our diplomas in house.
Ginna

Hello All!

We are talking about our commencement/graduation process here at Southeastern and were wondering what others are doing:


1.       What is your graduation fee?

2.       When is the fee collected? ____at time of application  _____when approved for graduation

3.       What info is put in the commencement program?    ______Student Name  _____ Major ______Home Town

4.       What do you give to students at the ceremony?    ______ Diploma Cover/Tube  _____Poster   _____Diploma   _____Nothing

5.       Do you have a reception for the graduates?   _____All together  _____by Academic School   ______None

6.       Are your diplomas:   _____Printed in House     ______Printed by an outside vendor (ex: Jostens)

Currently, we charge a $25 fee that is due when approved for graduation.  We list everything in the program-name, hometown, major, honor status.    We hand out a rolled "Commencement Poster" at the ceremony and have a University-wide reception afterwards.    Our diplomas are printed by Jostens.


Thanks,
Kristie
