Some courses you may take will have a course or lab fee that is assessed along with tuition for the course and is related to certifications, supplies, or other provisions that will be required to complete the course. Questions regarding these fees can be addressed with your professor, the Department Chair, or the Academic Dean.

Graduation Fee

Participation in Commencement ceremonies is not required, however, all students who have completed their degree requirements and cleared as a graduate (Dec, May, Aug) are charged this fee ($325). Though this fee in part supports provision of Commencement events for all graduating students whether they choose to attend or not. There are also activities outside of Commencement events involved with conferring a degree on a student such as their Degree Audit to confirm completion of degree requirements, a certified Diploma, and officially becoming a member of the Alumni of Caldwell University. The provision of celebrating and confirming graduates leading up to, including, and following Commencement helps us provide these experiences to all graduates of Caldwell University.
