To DROP one or more classes, but remain enrolled in other classes for a semester; refer to the Tuition & Fee Refund percentage above.

To WITHDRAW you are dropping ALL classes in a semester. For example; taking 12+ week courses and withdrawing in week 1, you will have a 100% tuition refund and a $50 withdrawal penalty. In week 2, again 100% of tuition is refunded, with a $100 withdrawal penalty. In week 3 & 4, you will receive a refund of 50% (owing 50%) with no withdrawal penalty. By week 5 there is no refund, all tuition and fees are due.

WITHDRAWAL for summer, would mean dropping ALL classes in ALL sessions.

NOTE: Non-attendance of class or classes does not have any effect upon fee obligations! An official withdrawal is the only way to alter fee obligations. Withdrawal may not be done on-line. You must contact the Registrar's office to withdraw.

Financial Aid Refund checks can be picked up at the Cashier Window of the Bursar's Office in room 1300 of the Student Services Building on or after the first day of classes. If you are signed up for Electronic Refunding, the refund money should be in your bank account two business days after you see it posted to your SIS account.

Refunds resulting from personal check payments will be held for 14 business days from the date of the payment. A ten (10) day hold, from the date of the payment, will be put on any refund from e-check payments.

DUE DATES - Tuition and fees must be paid in full on or before 4:30 pm on the specified due date to avoid mandatory late payment assessments. A Payment Plan is available. See Fee Schedule and Deadlines for specific term due dates.

Non-attendance of classes does not constitute an official withdrawal.

GRAD STUDENT TAKING UNDERGRAD COURSE or UNDERGRAD STUDENT TAKING GRAD COURSE - The assessment of undergraduate tuition versus graduate tuition should be based upon the level of enrollment, i.e., a student enrolled as a graduate student taking some undergraduate courses shall be assessed graduate level fees for all credits. Conversely, an undergraduate student taking a graduate level course shall be assessed undergraduate level fees for all credits, as long as the graduate level course is not later used toward a graduate degree. If these graduate courses are later used toward a graduate degree, the student may be assessed the fee differential at that time.

The student will make this request through the Registrar's office, with a copy to Student Billing. Additional fee assessment will be calculated and due upon this request.

-Top-

APPEALS - Questions regarding fee obligations and refunds should be directed to the Student Billing Office. If an appeal is desired, the student should submit a Appeal of Institutional Charges Form. In the case of past term delinquent accounts, the right to appeal fee obligations ends once the account is sent to a collection agency.

-Top-

ADDED CREDITS - In most situations, adding credits will result in additional fee liability. If you add and drop courses during the 100% refund period and those courses have the same credits, are of the same session length, and begin in the same week, you will not have additional fee liability. Always check your SIS account after making changes to your schedule.

LATE ADD ASSESSMENT - If a student petitions for permission to add a course after the add deadline, late add fees of $5 per course will be assessed if the petition is approved. Additional fees may also be due since students will be assessed for all adds and drops after the 100% refund period rather than the net result of those adds and drops. Check fee implications with the Bursar's Student Billing Office, before submitting a Late Add Petition to the Registrar.

DISTANCE EDUCATION (INTERNET) COURSES - Effective Fall 2012, for purposes of assessing tuition, all distance education and off-campus courses should be counted toward the credit plateau along with on-campus courses. Tuition for January Interim courses will be assessed outside the tuition plateau.

Students should be assessed resident or non-resident tuition for distance education and off-campus courses according to UW System policy for on-campus courses.

Segregated fees should be assessed for all courses (up to the approved maximum for graduate and undergraduate courses in a given semester) if a student is registered for at least one on-campus course.

Segregated fees should not be assessed if a student is only registred for distance education and/or off-campus courses.

The tuition plateau for Fall and Spring is between 12 and 18 credits. For Summer the undergraduate plateau is between 6 and 9 credits. The plateau is the range of credits where tuition normally remains the same.

A distance education course is defined as one in which 75 percent or more of the instruction and interaction takes place through a non face-to-face modality. Distance education courses include those that employ correspondence study, or audio, video or computer technologies.

DISTANCE EDUCATION COURSE FEE - Effective with the Fall 2011 semester a course fee of $20.00 per credit will be assessed for all distance education courses. These funds will be used to (1) cover the costs associated with purchasing and maintaining the software that is used to develop and deliver distance education courses; (2) offset the costs of staffing the University's Help Desk and other student support services; and (3) provide specialized training to faculty and teaching academic staff who develop and deliver distance education courses.

-Top-

RETURNED CHECKS - Any check (paper or electronic) which is returned for non-sufficient funds (NSF) or closed account, will be subject to the appropriate fee and penalty obligations in effect. A $20 returned check charge, as allowed by Wisconsin Statute, will be assessed.
