On Campus Tuition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tuition for on-campus courses is assessed according to a student\u2019s residency status. Section 36.27 of the Wisconsin Statutes<\/a> defines the qualifications for paying tuition at the resident rate.\u00a0 For detailed information about residency for tuition purposes, please see the residency site for undergraduate admissions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graduate and undergraduate students are classified as resident or non-resident using the same law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use information on your application to determine your residency status when you are admitted to UWM as a graduate degree, non-degree, or certificate student. If you stop out of your studies for a year or more, your residency status will be re-evaluated when your re-entry application is processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who are non-residents for tuition purposes may qualify for a reduced non-resident rate if they are residents of Minnesota (the Minnesota Reciprocity tuition rate) or of the following states (the Midwest Tuition rate): Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who are residents of Minnesota must apply for Reciprocity through State of Minnesota Office of Higher Education<\/a>. Students whose permanent home addresses are in\u00a0 the Midwest Tuition states listed above will be classified as qualifying for the Midwest Tuition rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be notified at the time of admission of your residency status. If you feel that you should be classified as a resident for tuition purpose but have not, please contact us at gs-residency-tuition@uwm.edu<\/a>. You may request a reconsideration of your residency status if you qualify as a resident but did not provide enough information as part of your admission application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an appeal process for non-resident status. Please contact our office for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online Tuition:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Students in an approved online program<\/a> will be assessed tuition at the rates approved for their particular online programs. The tuition rates for the various online programs do not distinguish between Wisconsin residents and non-residents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
