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 refundable if the student withdraws from UW-WC prior to July 1, 2008 for fall 2008 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). Students who withdraw after June 30, 2008 (for fall 2008 classes) will be charged a $100 withdrawal fee. 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.

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 & Audiographic Fees
An additional $10 per credit applies to all courses delivered via compressed video or audiographics to reflect extraordinary costs to maintain distance education equipment and networks.

Audit Fees
For Fall 2008 courses, the audit fee is estimated to be $53 per credit* for Wisconsin residents. Wisconsin residents, age 60 and over, may audit courses at no charge. If enrolled for both credit and audit courses, all credits will be assessed at the credit rate.

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.
