Expenses
FEES
The
fees and procedures described in this section are estimates.
Prospective students should refer to the official Class Schedule
Bulletin, which will contain up-to-date information about fees.
The
payment of fees entitles a student to a student identification
(ID) card. This card entitles the student to attend most
University activities, and to make use of University facilities
(see Student Handbook and ID Card). Undergraduate students receive
most of their required textbooks on a rental basis (see Textbook
Rentals).

TUITION
AND RESIDENCY
A
Wisconsin Statute requires the payment of nonresident tuition by
students who are residents of states other than Wisconsin or who
have not been bonafide residents of Wisconsin for one year (12
months) immediately preceding the beginning of the semester for
which they are registering.
For
undergraduate and graduate students, determination of resident
status for tuition purposes is made by the Office of Admissions at
the time of admission.
If the original
residence status for tuition purposes is designated as
nonresident, this status remains in effect unless the student
requests and is granted reclassification. Such requests should be
addressed to the Office of Admissions prior to the beginning of
the semester in which reclassification is to take effect.

MINNESOTA-WISCONSIN
TUITION 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. Application forms are available at Minnesota
High Schools, in the Registrar’s Office of this University, or
from the Reciprocity Office, Higher Education Coordinating
Commission, 400 Capitol Square Building, 550 Cedar Street, St.
Paul, MN 55101.

MISCELLANEOUS
FEES
Fees
for certain special courses are listed in the official Class

PARTIAL PAYMENT
PLAN
A down
payment is required to enter the Partial Payment Plan and must be
received by the University Cashier no later than the date
published in the current Class Schedule Bulletin for each term.
Installments will be due according to the published schedule and
will be subject to a finance charge on the unpaid balance (see
current Class Schedule Bulletin for due dates and finance charge
rate). Failure to make installment payments on time will result in
a hold on academic records and on registration for future terms.
TOP
REFUND OF FEES
Refunds
may be made as the result of withdrawal from the University or a
reduction in the number of enrolled credits. Requests to withdraw
from the University must be made in writing on the form provided
by the Dean of the College or Associate Dean of the appropriate
School. In determining the academic withdrawal date, the
University will use the date that the student notified the College
or School of his or her withdrawal. The date of withdrawal for
refund purposes will be determined by the Business Office. The
dates and corresponding amounts of refund entitlement will be as
stated in the official Class Schedule Bulletin. A credit balance
of less than $2.00 will not be refunded unless requested.
TOP
REFUND OF ROOM
AND BOARD PAYMENTS
Students
who are granted permission to cancel their residence hall contract
without withdrawing from the University will be refunded room and
board charges on a prorated basis. The room deposit will be
forfeited.
Students
who are suspended by the University will be refunded room and
board fees, including the room deposit, on a prorated basis. A
credit balance of less than $2.00 will not be refunded unless
requested.
The above policies
shall apply to all persons who reside in University housing.
TOP
DEPOSITS
A
registration deposit is required for new freshmen entering in the
fall and spring. The deposit will be applied to fees when the
student completes registration. The amount, date due, and refund
policy are specified in the orientation brochure, which is sent to
each new freshman prior to the Summer Orientation session.
A
$75 room deposit/advance payment is required for all students
applying for housing. The deposit is in addition to the room fees
and is intended to serve as a reservation deposit for the
contract. The money is held in escrow and applied to second
semester fees. If the student does not complete the contract for
the full academic year the deposit is forfeited. If the contract
is for a new student, the deposit will be refunded if the Office
of Housing and Residence Life receives a written request from the
student before May 1 of the preceding year. Returning students
will have their advance deposits refunded if the Office of Housing
and Residence Life receives a written request by the end of the
preceding academic year. Those students who voluntarily cancel
their contracts after these dates shall forfeit the deposit.
A $75 room deposit
is also required for room reservations for students entering at
spring semester. Students who cancel this second semester contract
before November 1 preceding the spring semester will have the
deposit refunded. Those students who voluntarily cancel their
contracts after November 1 shall forfeit the deposit.
