Can I go ahead and get the residency waiver and graduation fee taken care of?

Why would you want to do that?

I had seen some speculation about fees increasing during the summer when they transition from 2017-18 to 2018-19

We know that the Study.com partnership will expire at the end of June. It is expected to be renewed, but probably with lower discounts. Though it could go away entirely. So, to take advantage of that, one could pre-pay their residency waiver and register for the capstone before July 1st. There is no discount on graduation fees, so there really isn't a reason to pre-pay that. Prepaying them both before July 1st could save $700 on the waiver and $399 on the capstone.

One downside of pre-paying these would be that if you don't complete a degree within a year of the payment, you lose the money spent on the residency waiver. You'd also need to complete the Capstone within the next term.
