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 Session) 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

EXCESS CREDIT SURCHARGE
In accordance with Board of Regents policy,
starting in the fall of 2004, all resident undergraduate students
who have accumulated 165 credits (or 30 credits more than required
by their degree programs, whichever is greater) will be charged a
surcharge, equal to 100 percent of the regular resident tuition on
credits beyond that level (total tuition will equal twice regular
resident tuition). For information about credits required in a
specific degree program or information concerning appealing the
surcharge, contact the Registrar.

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 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.
