ExpensesFEES
The fees and procedures described in this section
are estimates. Prospective students should refer to the official
Class Schedule, 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. Students may also print an application
form or apply for reciprocity online at this Web site: http://www.mheso.state.mn.us.

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 for
each term. In addition, new students must sign and return a
Payment Plan Agreement Application form. 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
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 or Associate Dean of the
appropriate College. In determining the academic withdrawal date,
the University will use the date that the student notified the
College 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 Class Schedule. 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.
