  • Senior/Graduation Fee
    Senior/Graduation Fee What is this fee? This nonrefundable fee would be applied to degree‐seeking students who reach senior status or apply for graduation using the WSU Graduation Application. This would include students earning an Associate, Bachelors, Masters, or Doctoral degree. A student would be charged a single fee per degree, so a student having to reapply or move their graduation application would not be charged multiple times. This fee will not impact the eligibility of graduation or hinder the awarding of a degree. This will prevent the mailing of official transcripts and printing of the diploma. When will this fee be assessed? This fee will ideally be assessed at the time that a student reaches their senior/final year. How much is this fee? We are asking for a $25 Senior/Graduation Fee. What will the revenue from this fee be used for? These funds would be used for the expenses associated with graduation, the Warrior Grad Celebration, and commencement. This will include diploma covers, academic honors cords, printing diplomas, mailing diplomas, commencement costs which may include but are not limited to printing costs, refreshments, decorations, music, and other supplies. What is the expected amount of revenue from this fee? It is anticipated based on past, current, and past trends, that roughly 1835 students would have this fee assessed each fiscal year. This would equate to $45,875.00 annually. Why is this fee being requested? Currently there is no budget exclusive to graduation/commencement. Primarily Academic Affairs and the Registrar’s Office have paid for these expenses from their own operating budgets.

    A magazine for alumni and friends SPRING/SUMMER 2013 WIZARD with a PURPOSE www.BemidjiState.edu | 1 Moses Tsang achieves in finance while Pro TecTing na Ture PRESIDENT R. HANSON PresidenT’s Message Welcome to BSU’s biannual magazine – outstanding as ever, and now with a new name, Bemidji State University. The former name, Horizons, had been in place for many years, but it was time this important publication had a clearer connection to the institution. Once you’re done reading about the people and progress that make us all so proud, I hope you will give your copy an honored place on your coffee table at home or at work. As our 2013 Commencement ceremony approaches, how fitting that the cover story for this spring/summer edition features Moses Tsang. We are thrilled he will be in Bemidji to receive an honorary doctorate in recognition of his accomplishments through both career and service. I am also pleased to announce that another outstand- ing alum, Marine Corps Lieutenant General Thomas D. Waldhauser, will be honored as our Distinguished Minnesotan and deliver the keynote address. These pages are filled with evidence of the enormous difference Bemidji State makes every day, especially through our wonderful students and graduates, who achieve, lead and serve in so many ways. You will read about the rapid expansion of our international studies programs under the leadership of Provost Dr. Martin Tadlock, meet several more of our “Students to Watch,” catch up on university news and learn more about the lives of such impressive alums as Bill Colter, Rita Albrecht and Peggy and Sam Johnson.
