Student Responsibility

It is each student's responsibility to review the tuition policies. Late fees and withdrawal fees are assessed after the deadlines.

• No invoices are mailed. Check your PRISM account for balance due.
• Once you are registered, you are responsible for your tuition. If your plans change and you will not be attending, you must fully withdraw - the date that is recorded in PRISM is your official withdrawal date. More information on withdrawals.
• Tuition must be received (not postmarked) on the due date.
• Summer 2013 payment deadlines: 3 week session is due May 28; 4 and 7 week sessions is due June 17. Fall 2013 payment deadline is September 16.

Important Information

• Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD):
  All new and continuing students who register for classes are required to make a $100 Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD) to secure their class registration. The ATD is not a fee, but an advance payment and a financial commitment, which is applied towards your tuition. The ATD is not refundable if the student withdraws from UW-WC after November 30, 2012 for spring 2013 classes. The ATD cannot be covered by financial aid or scholarship monies. Payment may be made by mail (check), at the Business office (cash, check or money order only) or via PRISM (credit card or electronic check).  Allow at least an additional 24 hours after paying the ATD, before registering for classes (system updates).
• Students' Responsibility:
  Students are responsible for payment of tuition and fees by the due date (as listed above).  Any student account that goes into default will be responsible for all collection costs associated with the collection of the past due amount. More information on withdrawal fees. 
  
• Late Fees:
  Students who have not paid their tuition by the above deadlines will be assessed a $100 late fee. In addition, any student account that goes into default will be responsible for all collection costs associated with the collection of the past due amount. 
  Withdrawal Fee:
  Students who withdraw after November 30, 2012 for spring 2013 classes will be charged a $100 withdrawal fee.
  
• Course Changes: 
  If you have made any changes to your course schedule, please check your PRISM account online for the accurate balance. No invoices are mailed. Check PRISM for current balances.

NOTE: If you enroll for both credit and audit courses, all of your credits will be billed at the full credit rate.

Fee Information

Online Course Fees

Online course tuition, fees, payment requirements, and payment schedules differ from all other UW-Colleges campus requirements. Additionally, an administrative fee is charged for each Online course. Check www.online.uwc.edu for current payment information. You will NOT receive an invoice; please follow payment instructions carefully. Once the semester begins,UWC Online tuition is refundable according to the institution-wide UWC tuition refund policy and calendar.

Your seat in the course is not secure until your Online tuition is paid in full or, if you are a UW-C degree seeking student, UW Colleges confirms that you have adequate financial aid to cover your Online tuition in full. If you fail to meet this requirement, you will be removed from your course(s) when the course is full or at the close of Online registration.

Compressed Video & Distance Education Fees

An additional $15 per credit applies to all courses delivered via compressed video or Wisline to reflect extraordinary costs to maintain distance education equipment and networks.

Audit Fees

The fee schedule for audit courses is approximately 30% of resident fees and 50% of non-resident fees. Wisconsin residents, age 60 and over, may audit courses at no charge. (Special course fees still apply.) If enrolled for both credit and audit courses, all credits will be assessed at the credit rate.  Spring semester 2013 audit fees are estimated to be $59 per credit for Wisconsin residents.

Concurrent Enrollment 

If you are also enrolled at another University of Wisconsin campus, your fees may be adjusted, depending on your total credit load. To receive any adjustment to which you may be entitled, bring your "paid" receipt from that campus to the UW-Washington County Business Office prior to the due date.  If you don’t have a “paid” receipt by that time, make contact with the Business Office to make arrangements to avoid any late fees being applied.  This does not apply to students enrolled in one of the collaborative degree programs held on the UW-WC campus.

Holds

If you owe the UW Colleges a fine, money, or materials, or are delinquent on payment of a loan obtained through the UW Colleges Financial Aid office, a hold will be placed on your educational records. The hold will prohibit you from registering in the future and you will not be able to receive a transcript.

Questions

For questions regarding payment of tuition and fees, stop in the Business Office Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., or phone 262-335-5205.
