It’s possible that the university paid your publication fees so that they didn’t end up on your desk. The university paid for mine, but there for sure were fees.

It highly depends on the field and journals. In my field, most society-run journals are without fees unless you want Open Access.

Wow...now that I reflect on this, I do remember journals asking me to submit a paper then mentioning a submission fee. I just ignored them seeing the obvious scam and invalidity it would cause to the article. No matter how much I am aware of the inherent contradictions in the system, I'm still surprised by the greed and lack of integrity.
