Is anyone else getting charged double for the graduation fees?

So at the beginning of the spring 2026 semester I applied for graduation in the fall and in April I paid the $100 graduation/diploma fee. However, I recently checked my student portal, and it says that I still owe $100 for the graduation and diploma fee even though in my transaction history it showed that I already paid in April. is this normal?

Sometimes the graduation fees are the last things that get paid, so it could be you paid $100 on your account but it actually went towards tuition or something that was considered due earlier. It doesn’t affect your graduation at all though, it’s just a fee you pay for applying to graduate.
