Remaining expenses will be based on the individual student's personal living expenses.
For students who live at home, an estimate of $4630 is used for the combine expenses of food, utilities, transportation, and personal expenses.
Wisconsin/Minnesota reciprocity
The current reciprocity agreement between Minnesota and Wisconsin enables a Minnesota resident to attend Wisconsin public institutions of higher education at rates approximating tuition prevailing in the Minnesota State University System. Those wishing to take advantage of this tuition remission must apply well in advance of their initial enrollment at a Wisconsin System institution. Approval covers the full year (including summer sessions) and is automatically renewed each year for the campus initially approved. You may apply online at www.getreadyforcollege.org, or if you have additional questions about reciprocity, contact the Minnesota Office of Higher Education at (800) 657-3866.
Other non-resident students
If you are a child or grandchild of an alumnus from UW-Eau Claire who is currently living outside Wisconsin or Minnesota, you may qualify for the Return to Wisconsin program.If you are participating in the Midwest Student Exchange Program, you may receive a discount on nonresident tuition. Generally students pay 150% of resident tuition. Visit the MSEP website for details. Return to Wisconsin is superseded by MSEP.
