Document Fee

The Document Fee is a one-time $150 fee charged to new students in covered groups that replaces individual transaction costs for students and alumni within those groups; see Covered Groups, below. 

The Document Fee affords a number of benefits to covered student and alumni groups:

  • Current prices of documents and services are locked in, with lifelong access to covered documents.
  • Improved service; transactions aren’t slowed by payments or billing.
  • Document requests are fulfilled in one-three business days; additional time needed for mailing.
  • E-transcript service.

The Document Fee provides the following to student and alumni in covered groups:

The Document Fee does not cover expedited mail service; e.g., Fed-Ex, overnight mailing, etc., duplicate diplomas, fax requests, and services not provided by the Office of the University Registrar.

Covered Groups

Covered groups include students enrolled in degree-seeking undergraduate and graduate programs as well as students in some self-supporting programs. Former students in these covered groups must have completed at least one term to receive the covered documents at no charge. Groups not covered by the Document Fee do not pay the Document Fee and, therefore, are required to pay-per-service. If a student enrolls in a program covered by the Document Fee, and also enrolls in a program not covered by the Document Fee (e.g., an undergraduate alumnus enrolled in the School of Medicine M.D. program) all of their student record is covered by the Document Fee.
