University of Wisconsin Stout | Wisconsin's Polytechnic University

The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents' Business and Finance Committee resolved on Friday, February 5, 1999, that UW-Stout could charge "differential tuition," or market rates, for customized instruction programs.

There are two steps to charging different tuition rates for your customized instruction programs:

1. First, your program must be approved for customized instruction and special tuition rates using the Customized Instruction Program Approval Form [PDF] and supporting documentation. Supporting documentation includes tuition rate, expected resulting revenue, enrollment assumptions, market demand, and plans for use of funds.
2. Next, each semester you must notify Student Business Services which courses/sections you intend to offer at customized rates using the Customized Instruction Program: Course Section Approval Form [PDF].
   

When Student Business Services receives section approval forms, tuition rates are verified against program approval documentation, and tuition is adjusted for students enrolled in those sections. Student bills are processed smoothly and without delay. 

If segregated fees are to be waived for these course/sections, the appropriate information should be provided for approval as well.

Students must be notified in advance of customized instruction tuition rates. Rates must be published in all course timetables and promotional materials. Rates and course sections must be approved prior to advertising.
