Transcript Voucher Pilot Program
PURPOSE:
For the Student Government Association of Western Kentucky University
to allocate $1,225 for a Transcript Voucher Pilot Program.
WHEREAS:
Students typically apply for scholarships, jobs, graduate school, or
professional school during the spring semester, and
WHEREAS:
Such pursuits often require the submission of an official transcript, and
WHEREAS:
Students must pay $4,042 in tuition and fees each semester to pursue
higher education, but yet are further obligated to pay $7 for the academic
records that they have paid to develop over the course of their studies, and
WHEREAS:
A transcript voucher program will help alleviate some of the financial
burden such situations impose on students, and
WHEREAS:
A total of 175 transcript vouchers will be available to students at a limit of
two vouchers per student, and
WHEREAS:
The program will serve as a beneficial partnership between the Student
Government Association and the Office of the Registrar.
THEREFORE:
Be it resolved that the Student Government Association of Western
Kentucky University allocates $1,225 from general Senate funding for a
Transcript Voucher Pilot Program to be executed by the Executive
Branch.
Be it further resolved that the Student Government Association of Western
Kentucky University support the reduction of transcript and other
academic costs imposed on the student body.
