Final Twist Of The Knife
Does anyone else's school charge a "graduation fee" to graduate? It's only $45, but it still pisses me off mightily. Not sure if it's enough to raise the hell that would be required to get it waived.

Re: Final Twist Of The Knife
how in the fuck do they justify BS like that? Is the fee to attend the graduation ceremony or just to straight up graduate

It's a university-wide thing, not just the law school. Not that that makes it any better.
As far as I can tell, it's a bullshit fee to put a hold on your diploma and transcripts.

It is annoying, but I'm pretty sure it's commonplace. Did you notice if your undergrad did this?

No, they didn't, but I went to a cheap state school.

Re: Final Twist Of The Knife
My thought is the school should have the courtesy to find a way to incorporate this into the lump sum tuition you pay at the beginning of the year. I know there are logistical issues with that, but come on guys, get it together.
