Fall 2007 - Spring 2008 Tuition Costs

Summer 2008 Tuition Costs

An Advanced Tuition Deposit (ATD) must be paid before you can register.  It is applied to tuition, and is refundable only until the following dates if you withdraw from UWMC:
     Fall term:  June 30
     Spring term:  December 1

What is the special significance of the Advance Tuition Deposit (ATD)?
 When you pay the ATD and register for classes, you are making a commitment to attend and to pay tuition.  You will owe full tuition and fees unless you officially withdraw from all your classes by contacting the Student Services Office.  You cannot withdraw completely by using PRISM self-service.

By the 8th day of each term, students must do one of the following:
1.  Pay tuition in full,
2.  Pay in part according to the terms of the Partial Payment Plan, or
3.  If financial aid has been offered but not received, and if option 1 or 2 cannot be exercised, obtain a written deferment. (Students who have applied for financial aid but haven't received an offer must use option 1 or 2.  This will not affect financial aid eligibility).

How to Pay Your Tuition, Fees & Advance Tuition Deposit Online

Invoice and Fee Notes:
Paper invoices may not be mailed to students.  Invoice information and fee notes will be available online.  Some highlights include:
1.  Financial aid and scholarship checks will not be disbursed until the second week of classes, and must be used to pay institutional obligations (residual funds are mailed to the student).
2.  Students paying tuition with personal funds are encouraged to do so by mail, observing the deadline noted above.
3.  An administrative charge for late payment will be assessed after the 10th day of the term, as described in the fee notes.
4. Refunds of tuition for credit reductions and withdrawals decrease to 50% after the second week of classes; after the fourth week, there are no refunds.
5.  Registration creates a financial obligation.  To change that, students must drop or withdraw from courses in the Student Services Office.
6.  Books may be purchased anytime the bookstore is open.  Be prepared to pay up front for books.  Financial aid may not be available when you need to purchase books.

Financial Aid & Scholarships:
These checks are disbursed in the Business Office as part of the tuition payment process.  Most financial aid is electroniclaly credited to the students' accounts, with residual amounts mailed to the student.
Students who have applied late for financial aid and who have received an offer but not the check/credit, may request a tuition payment deferment if otherwise unable to pay from personal funds.  Deferments must be requested in person.

If a student who has received financial aid withdraws from school, some repayment of aid may be required.

Partial Payment Plan:
Students registered for three or more credits may pay tuition in installments.  This option requires completion of a Parial Payment Plan application form, a $10 enrollment fee, and a minimum $200 payment by the 8th day of the term.  The remaining balance must be paid in two equal installments, the first due at the end of the fifth week of classes and the second, at the end of the eighth week of classes. Delinquent payments are subject to late fees and finance charges according to the terms of the agreement.
