At Barnard College, last year, we changed our one-time $100 "graduation"
fee (which we called a "Senior Fee" to avoid the
"I'm-not-attending-graduation-why-do-have-to-pay-this?" argument) to a
$12.50 per term "Class Fee" assessed to all matriculating students every
semester (theoretically for 8 terms, but if they graduate in 7 or 10,
it's still assessed each term.  In fact, it's assessed whether they
graduate or not.).  This fee is a portion of our larger Comprehensive
Fee.  HTH!

<fontfamily><param>Arial</param><smaller>Point Park College is a liberal
arts college located in Pittsburgh, PA and have approximately 2700
students.  We are reviewing the graduation fees charged to our students. 
We currently charge $75.00 ($100 if they apply late) and the students buy
their cap & gown through the college bookstore.  The $75.00 is charged
even if  the student does not participate in the ceremony.  We would like
to know what other colleges and universities charge or if they don't
charge a fee for graduation.  Thanks
