One of those expenses is something every senior is familiar with or should be familiar with, de gree audits. That is when your academic advi sor spends the better part of an hour (if they are thorough) trying to make sure you have completed all the classes you need to gradu ate. The advisor has done their part and audited your class records, students must then pay $50 to the registrar’s office to basically do the same thing and audit your records a sec ond time. It may appear redundant, but when asking the Registrar’s office about that, Ms. Shanika Johnson asks, “when you are gradu ating don’t you want redundant?” “Do you want to get to that day and find out you don’t have all your classes,” she asks. That $50 grade audit is in addition to any other expenses students may have to include cap and gown any invitation fees, some have their stole embroidered with names, or orga nization affiliations. Don’t forget any recep tion you may decide to have to celebrate your new academic status. The list goes on as the expenses mount. It doesn’t seem like much to some. But why pay someone to do something that has already been done, at times more than once. Why have academic advisors perform a degree au dit if students will just have to turn around and pay the registrar’s office to do the same thing? Is this policy wasting valuable faculty time that could be better spent improving aca demic curriculum or even the student/profes sor relationship?
